Many people think the Expos fleeced the Cardinals when they got Fernando Tatis for Dustin Hermanson and Steve Kline in December, and Reames could prove to be a nice throw-in. He was the Cardinals' minor league pitcher of the year in 1996, when he fell one win short of the Class A Midwest League's pitching triple crown. Then he tore a ligament in his elbow, had Tommy John surgery and missed all of 1997 and 1998. Like many recent pitchers, Reames has come back stronger than ever. His fastball now works at 90-93 mph with good sink and run. He complements it with a solid average curveball, a plus changeup and a bulldog mentality on the mound. Reames was effective after joining the Cardinals last year, including allowing just one run in 10 postseason innings. Montreal will give him every opportunity to replace Hermanson in the rotation this spring.
