Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
2013
Even when Reed was initially drafted with the 16th overall pick in the 2011 draft, the industry consensus pitted him as a future reliever given his lack of command/control. Despite putting up a 3.22 ERA in 137 innings at Double-A Chattanooga, and sporting three average-or-better pitches, the smart money is still on Reed ending up in a big league bullpen. His 9.5% walk rate at Double-A and 9.7% walk rate in 22.1 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City were comfortably the best rates of his career, but without overpowering stuff, the bullpen could be a better fit. As a lefty who can induce weak contact, Reed will be an asset at some point for the Dodgers. However, his fantasy value hinges on him remaining a starter, an outcome that is yet to be determined.
Reed continued to fail to live up to his first-round draft status in 2013, going 4-11 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.39 WHIP for Double-A Chattanooga. Again walks were a problem given his 4.1 BB/9, and his K/9 was just so-so at 7.0. Look for Reed to return to Double-A to open 2014, and it could be a year in which he's converted to a bullpen role. Reed's prospect start has dimmed a bit, and this is a crucial year for the southpaw.
Reed was the team's top pick in the 2011 draft, and his first full season featured a lot of ups and downs. The Dodgers took it easy with his left arm, allowing him to average right around four innings per start. He finished with a 3.97 ERA, 8.6 K/9, and 4.4 BB/9. He was a reliever in college, and that could ultimately be his role if he can't improve his control and get deeper into games. Reed will return to Double-A to open 2013 and could contribute to the big club late in the year if things go well.
