No Rex said that after rookie camp...as in the guy's really sharp and was picking up the scheme really well. Disappointing he looks like nothing, he was one of the guys I really hoped might be a surprise.
I dont think people know how to take what Rex says into context. He's high on this kid because he's not being told what to do and is told the scheme and runs it without problem. That doesn't mean he'll fight for a starting position, or he's going to be great depth, it means he's mentally ahead of the curve and he'll make the squad as a ST or at the very very least a PS player. Let's think for 5 seconds. If you haven't heard anything about him in a while, its not a big deal.
Per his parents, Reamer was called in by Rex recently thinking he was gonna get released, but quite the opposite.Rex told him he felt good about his future on the team and told him to be ready to play MLB...
