He dominates AAA hitters, putting up gaudy K-rates and low ERAs, but outside of a terrific start in the '06 World Series, he hasn't translated his success to the Majors. The Cards just sent him back down to Memphis after he posted an ERA over 6 out of the 'pen for them so far this year. Cards RH Anthony Reyes fits this label.
