(talking about concern for all the guys throwing 95mph plus). Then they got into a debate over the long toss programs and how adamant Bundy was about it (he's at 150 feet right now with Archie Bradley). He's also got this crazy strength building program he does to build and protect the muscles around his arm to condition for this stuff. (Archie Bradley was talking about it all, and how he, his mom, Dylan and Dylan's dad would travel together for all their travel team stuff).

    Orioles119--Do the Orioles have the best pitching in baseball now? No. Are we pretty sure they will in a couple of years? No. Then there's room for improvement. You can never have too much pitching. If by some chance we have 5 great starters in 2-3 years ,leaving no room for Bundy, we trade Bundy for an established hitter. I don't see that happening, but it could be done if necessary.

    I really don't see how you can claim that we're too pitching heavy.

    Who said that he was sound? I'd been saying he was TJ and then shoulder issues waiting to happen since like 07 and I didn't know anything in 07. Did people really think he wasn't a huge injury risk?

    A lot of people (pros) were saying that he was solid and wasn't a big injury risk. I figured throwing a curve that hard it was dicey. I mean who throws a 90mph curve ball? The human arm is just not meant for that kinda abuse.

    You forget that he has three favorite words...hitter, expensive and premium. Bundy is two of those.

    Premium talent is premium talent, even if it doesn't bat.

    What if...

    Rendon didn't have the injury and he slipped to the O's, yet they passed on him to take Bundy? What then?

    I'm not saying that I don't like the Bundy pick now... just that with the hype that Rendon had last year (to the point of wishing losses on the big club), they didn't take him, even when available.

    That is a pointless exercise, because if Rendon hadn't been injured it is incredibly likely that he would have gone to Pittsburgh or Seattle, nor do I think the Orioles would have passed on him. You've entirely left the realm of reality or even plausibility at this point.
