Reynolds was the second-overall pick in 2006.

Good point, added.

Ah Greg Reynolds, the guy that Rockies ownership forced the GM to draft because he was “signable” (unlike Kershaw and Lincecum) and because the Rockies had more of a need at pitching. The player that the former front office had all but guaranteed to be the #2 pick was Tulo’s college teammate, Evan Longoria. Can you imagine a Longoria/Tulowitzki left side of the infield during the Rockies playoff runs in the late 2000s/early 2010s? We probably wouldn’t still be waiting for a division title and we might not be waiting for a WS title with the Rox.

Reynolds also didn’t make it to the majors last year, he last played in professional baseball in 2013, he played for the Seibeu Lions in 2014.
Jeff Todd
The post never said that he pitched in the majors, though I failed to note that I was referring to his five starts this year at Triple-A, so I did fix that.

I think you’re missing the last sentence of the Reynolds note… where it says he was a second-round pick (second overall) and that he briefly reached the majors last year.
Jeff Todd
That’s in reference to Mazzoni.
