WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES

2006
A-:  1-9-0, 6.24 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, 53.1 IP, 4.0 BB/9, 7.3 K/9

Reid struggled as a starter in his short season debut.

2007
A:  6-5-10, 2.97 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 72.2 IP, 3.0 BB/9, 11.5 K/9

The Rays moved Reid to the bullpen in low A and he was much more effective.

2008
A+:  3-0-8, 0.29 ERA, 0.55 WHIP, 31.0 IP, 0.9 BB/9, 13.1 K/9
AA:  5-4-4, 4.66 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 46.1 IP, 6.0 BB/9, 10.3 K/9

Reid was nearly unhittable in high A, but wasn’t as effective after a mid-season promotion.  The main issue was his control, which went from outstanding to very bad.

2009
AA:  0-1-1, 4.17 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 58.1 IP, 4.3 BB/9, 7.7 K/9

In a full season in AA, Reid improved his control some, but also saw his K rate drop.

2010
AA:  3-3-2, 3.98 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, 72.1 IP, 4.9 BB/9, 7.6 K/9

Reid went back to AA for another season and pitched about the same as in 2009.

2011
AA:  2-0-1, 6.75 ERA, 1.94 WHIP, 16.0 IP, 2.2 BB/9, 6.8 K/9
AAA:  1-1-0, 4.55 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 55.1 IP, 2.9 BB/9, 8.3 K/9

Reid spent most of the season in AAA, including five starts.  He pitched better than the previous year, including solid walk and K rates.

2012
AAA:  6-3-1, 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 79.1 IP, 3.2 BB/9, 9.0 K/9

Reid had his first solid season in the upper minors, increasing his K rate to one per inning.  He had some trouble with gopher balls, allowing eight.

Reid has mostly struggled in the upper minors and was far from outstanding even in 2012, at age 27.  He looks strictly like a AAA reliever rather than somebody who could potentially help out at the major league level.
