Leaner, stronger Alex Reyes ready to pitch again, no matter the role

ST. LOUIS • When he pictures his major-league career, Alex Reyes is a starter.

And the Cardinals share that vision.

But there is a chance the Redbirds' top pitching prospect spends his first season back from Tommy John surgery working out of the bullpen. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said here at Winter Warm-Up that, as of now, new bullpen addition Luke Gregerson would be considered the club's closer (scroll down for more information on that). Mozeliak also acknowledged Reyes could be considered for that role.

Reyes just wants to pitch.

"Whatever they throw at me," Reyes said.
