Reed was drafted by the Chicago White Sox as the 59th overall pick (2nd round) of the 2002 MLB Draft.
In 2003, he was honored as the minor league player of the year, batting .333 for Single-A Winston-Salem in 66 games and .409 for Double-A Birmingham in 65 games.
In June 2004, Reed, along with Miguel Olivo and Mike Morse, was traded to the Seattle Mariners for Freddy García, Ben Davis, and cash.

In March 2006, Reed injured his wrist when he ran into the padding in the outfield attempting to make a catch. Later in July, Reed broke his right thumb trying to make a diving catch in the 11th inning, and he was placed on the 60-day DL. He missed the remainder of the season.
