I think everyone just needs to relax. If we're still having this conversation in 2 weeks, then maybe they will send him back down. I'm guessing that the kid figures it out and will be fine.
Not a chance. Someone will take a look at him in their pen if the Orioles try to move him now. Somebody will ultimately need to be sent down, go on the Jimenez pothole IL, or get DFA'd.
I’m skeptical how much the lack of scouting report matters nowadays. They have all the same data on pitchers in AAA as they do in the MLB, you can figure out a lot about a pitcher without ever having someone there watching them. Not to discount that additional value, just to say it’s not like the old days when a guy could come up and be pretty much unknown.
Plus Suárez just pitched a lot in Spring Training and was pretty much exactly what we saw yesterday.
