Reyes to Start Thursday?

[msneezie31]

Anthony Reyes is expected to make his his 3rd start of the season on Thursday against Freddy Garcia and the Chicago White Sox. Reyes, who holds a 1-0 record this year with a 2.25 ERA is set to face a huge test in Chicago. When asked if Duncan was a 100% go for Thursday, pitching coach Dave Duncan replied that it was a "50-50" chance he could be starting on the mound. I think this is a huge test for the biggest Cardinals prospect since Rick Ankiel. Hopefully good things happen and he holds down the spot. It also doesnt hurt that I have Reyes in my keeper league and i must hold his rights if he hits 50 IP.

Is that a wise idea after the pounding your bullpen has taken over the past couple of days? I know he's a good prospect, but what happens if he can only go 5? Not to mention the White Sox are on fire right now, which IMO is a bad situation to put a prospect into.

Why not test this guy against the reigning champs? See what this kid is made of. If it gets out of hand again, I see Gary Bennett pitching from the pen.
