Re: TV 5 sports said...
If this deal goes down, it's another low risk deal that could potentially help the big club. Reitsma isn't going to command a high salary and could add to the depth of the bullpen. I like it.

Re: TV 5 sports said...
If his elbow passes muster it's not a bad risk. I wonder how much velocity he'll have left though?

Pass.
My friends down in Atlanta despised Chris, he was considered their Eric Milton. He earned the nickname "gas can" from call-in shows, which is a really bad nickname for a relief pitcher. |

Re: TV 5 sports said...
i'll wait until I see the offer before I decide on if I would like it. Anything other than a minor league deal is a waste of money until he proves he can still pitch at a major league level.

Re: TV 5 sports said...
More dumpster crabbing. I always liked Reitsma, but his arm may be gone.

He drove Atlanta fans (both of them) crazy.
I'll always like him for that.

Re: TV 5 sports said...
He threw up ERA of
4.07 2004 3.93 2005 8.68 2006 Last year was an injury riddled failure, but the previous seasons look fine to me. If the guy can pass a physical, what is there to hurt in a 500k contract for 1 year. Better than what we threw out there last year for the most part if healthy. |

Re: TV 5 sports said...
Maybe the #5 starter will be mix and matching of relievers...I think WK has been scarred for life in his first gig as a GM. How many bullpen arms are needed? Personally, I'd rather have Reitsma than spending $5 million on Mercker or Weathers. Depending on the $, of course.

Re: TV 5 sports said...
We need to get Catch22 in here to give us some insight on Chris' condition.
