St. Louis Cardinals - PlayerWatch

[October 08, 2015]  RHP Alex Reyes, 21, is considered a top-20 prospect in all of minor league baseball after a superb 2015. Forget the 5-7 record he compiled between high Class A Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield. Look at the 148 strikeouts and a mere 70 hits allowed in 98 1/3 innings as proof of his electric stuff. If Reyes can harness his stuff -- he walked 49 batters and tossed nine wild pitches -- he could see St. Louis sometime late next year.

RHP John Lackey, a key member of the World Series-winning 2002 Angels and 2013 Red Sox, will start Game 1 of the NLDS for St. Louis.
