Dahk 210 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 38 minutes ago, JeterPimpedUrGF said: Twins brought Buxton up too soon and he very well could be the next B.J. Upton because of it. I prefer not to see this happen with Reed. So because Byron Buxton has struggled to date in the majors, AJ Reed would as well? What makes Buxton a good comp for Reed? And as the above poster stated, BJ Upton had some solid years. Buxton has done nothing of note yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ragrag 1,494 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'd rather Reed see daily AB's in AAA then come up and split time w/ Marwin. Marwin has earned his PT right now, so Reed is just gonna have to wait for his shot. Hope he can stay hot in the meantime and come up hungry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onions 98 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 According to the Twitterz, AJ Reed has been called up: @1250SportsTalk: Former UK Baseball star, AJ Reed got called up to the Astros tonight and will be on the roster for tomorrow's game in Kansas City at 7:15. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onions 98 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) ...And what appears to be confirmation from Astros' beat writer: @jakemkaplan: Can confirm @1250SportsTalk report that A.J. Reed has been called up to the Astros. Team has no comment. Take this info for whatever it's worth. Edited June 25, 2016 by Onions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elixir 173 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Reed. what a big disappointment. Maybe 2017 is a better year for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He just needs more time and to get his timing/confidence back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brockpapersizer 11,401 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Funny enough the luckiest home run of the entire year was probably this HR by Reed in Spring Training 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FouLLine 2,849 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 AAA pitching is now looking like beach balls for A.J. Reed. I'm wondering how soon until AJ Reed is back on that 3200 a game thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jmadtown 200 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 3/4 with a 3 run bomb last night. Added a BB as well. Hitting .447 since he returned to AAA. Any chance he's back up this year? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jb_power 3,454 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think there's a good chance they recall Reed and send down Bregman. Might be the best option for all parties (Astros, Reed and Bregman). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
