Notes:

Denyi Reyes may elicit yawns from the scouting community, but the 21-year-old righty is second in the SALLY in ERA (1.76), first in wins (10), first in WHIP (0.85), first in strikeouts (119), first in innings pitched (117.2) and prevents walks like nobody's business (13). He also has not failed to go at least five innings since April (and has only failed to go five in a start once all season).

He has to have elite control, if not command. He's the type of guy who is going to have to prove himself at every single level but hopefully he will.
