The Cardinals top prospect was out west making MOVES in the AFL. MLB.com currently has him as their #16 overall prospect!
But then:
Hearing Alex Reyes' abrupt shutdown after rough Friday AFL outing a "sensitive" issue but not medically-related. #Developing

Hmmmmmm…
What the heck, Strauss. That’s about as cryptic a Tweet as they get. Something is not right.

Alex Reyes joining the ranks of people with all the potential in the world but no brains

Alex Reyes you need to stay off the weed.
