I think with Reyes, he has positioned himself well to earn a spot in spring training next season. It's fair to say that September doesn't mean a whole lot, but he's played as well as a September callup can play, and while these games mean nothing to us, the Cubs are certainly not on cruise control right now. I don't expect anything particular out of him, but he seems like he could be the consummate utility player type, giving you positional flexibility, speed, and not inexisting pop, with a good bat. That's plenty useful as a super-sub, but again, I think the big question is if he can do this while only playing once or twice a week.
Good call on Archer's last few starts. Expectations should still be high with him next year, and in spite of the bitter disappointment, his contract is maybe the biggest reason why the deal happened. He could have pitched much better from the jump, but it's hard to really even rank him that high on reasons why we should be disappointed with the team overall. Outside of his finish, he's definitely a bit of an individual disappointment, but our structural problems lie elsewhere. Now it's on Huntington to go out and address with offense, with the entire pitching staff more or less being solidified.
