Pirates Sign Jo-Jo Reyes

Found January 03, 2012 on Pirates Prospects: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jo-Jo Reyes
TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles,  Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed left handed pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes to a minor league deal, according to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com. We heard the Pirates were interested in Reyes back in December.

Reyes is 27 yeas old and had a career 6.05 ERA in 334.2 innings in the majors. In that time he has a 5.8 K/9, a 3.9 BB/9, and a 1.5 HR/9 ratio. He’s a good flier to take on a minor league deal. He was once a highly regarded prospect in Atlanta’s farm system, and is still young enough to put it all together. He has a career .736 OPS in the majors against left handers, so worst case he could be left handed relief depth. He will most likely pitch out of AAA in 2011.

The Orioles are fairly confident they will add another outfielder, though that wouldn't necessarily portend an Adam Jones trade.  The Orioles were not overly intrigued by the Braves' offer of Jair Jurrjens, Martin Prado, and a minor league...
