Dennys Reyes Marquee

b. April 19, 1977 · Los Angeles Dodgers 1997–1998, Cincinnati Reds 1998–2001, Colorado Rockies 2002, Texas Rangers 2002, Pittsburgh Pirates 2003, Arizona Diamondbacks 2003, Kansas City Royals 2004, San Diego Padres 2005, Minnesota Twins 2006–2008, St. Louis Cardinals 2009–2010, Boston Red Sox 2011

Reyes reached his peak after a decade of changing roles and clubs. Used only in relief by Minnesota in 2006, he appeared 66 times, went 5-0 and allowed five earned runs in 50 innings for a 0.89 earned run average.

Fifteen seasons gave him a 35-35 record, four saves, 642 strikeouts and a 4.21 earned run average in 726 innings. He started 40 of his 673 appearances, but none after 2005. His career high of 75 appearances came twice, for Minnesota in 2008 and St. Louis in 2009.

The Dodgers brought him up in 1997, and a trade to Cincinnati during 1998 began a route through eleven organizations. He changed clubs during 2002 and 2003, then settled long enough for three seasons each with Minnesota and St. Louis. Four final appearances for Boston in 2011 ended his career.
