March 30, 2016
Villarreal got sent down to Triple-A Louisville despite posting a 2.25 ERA in eight spring training appearances.
Analysis
Villarreal was stymied by not being on the Reds' 40-man roster. "That poses part of the challenge," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "A lot of factors went into the decision. That No. 1, was a consideration -- creating roster spots for guys and having some flexibility with the guys we have on the roster. The other part is as we shrink this down, there are guys we really wanted to see first."

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
For the fourth season in a row, Villarreal shuttled back-and-forth between Cincinnati and Triple-A Louisville, posting a 3.42 ERA in 50 innings of middle relief. His low strikeout rate and FIP-ERA suggested that he overachieved, and the Reds agreed, non-tendering him in early December. The 28-year old will likely land a minor league deal over the offseason and might even get another taste of the majors somewhere, but it's hard to imagine him landing a fantasy-friendly role.
Villarreal doesn't throw particularly hard, nor does he induce a significantly high percentage of groundballs, so there's a pretty low ceiling on what he can accomplish at the big league level. It took the Reds three years of his service time at Triple-A Louisville to decide he was better suited for relief work than starting, and his spot on the 40-man roster with the team is hanging by a thread with them as a result. At best, he profiles as a middle reliever or spot starter that might be able to vulture a few wins.
