Reyes has all the mannerisms of Prior. Hell of a steal by STL.

 

I noticed that when I saw him early this season. Unbelievable, the resemblance.

 

What many people don't realize is that many teams, Cubs included, passed on Reyes and let him go to the 13th based on the assumption he was injury prone. I haven't done any research on his college career, which was at USC the same time as Prior I believe, so not sure where the injury worries stemmed from. But how about that for irony. :?

 

edit: honestly, Oliver Perez is the perfect example of a pitcher who woke up in 2005 and forgot how to pitch.

Well, I guess that would raise the red flags

wow, is there a worse announcing team in history?

 

yes joe, perez was 2-10 because he can't bunt. his 6 something ERA was only a minor factor. and eckstein only kicked the grounder to give Belliard time to get to second.
