    Guessing on the Delmarva opening day pitching staff

    An array of the potential pitchers from "most likely" to be on the Shorebird staff to "least likely":

    Parker Bridwell
    Trent Howard
    Mike Wright
    Dylin Bundy
    Tyler Wilson
    Tim Berry
    Jorge Rivera
    Edward Rodriquez
    Devon Jones
    Mike Taylor
    ----------------regular roster cutoff
    Adam Wirsch
    Kyle Simon
    ----------------pre-season workout roster cutoff
    Zach Fowler
    Matt Bywater
    Matt Hobgood
    Jaime Esquival
    Cameron Coffee
    Sebastian Vader
    Matt Drummond
    David Baker
    Miguel Chalas

    and others in no particular order: Jessee Beal, Marc Blakmar, Zack Davies,
    Luis Noel, Ken Wise, and Jose Nivar.

    The list is not in order of skill level, but rather the likelyhood of being on the
    roster come the start of the season. For example, Bundy would be higher on skill level, but is dropped as there is a chance he will be with the Keys.

    Who in the above list is most out of order? Anyone think I have it 100% correct?

    Bridwell is a lock.
    Howard is too, probably.
    Bundy probably at least starts in Delmarva.
    Berry probably repeats.
    Wright will also likely start in Delmarva but could be one of the first to move up.

    That's probably the rotation. I think Wilson and Jones will be in the pen, and possibly Taylor as well. Simon I think could start at Frederick, the rest of the pen I don't know. Probably Fowler.

    I think you'll end up being right on most of these. Guys like Rivera might start in Aberdeen, but he sure looked good last year.

    There are just a few others you didn't list and I'm curious where you see them in the O's minor league system this year. The first are guys coming off injury/rehab seasons at Aberdeen; Lebron and R. Berry. It would seem they should be with a full season club this year. Did you not list them because you feel they'll be placed on some club higher than Delmarva?

    Also, what do you make of a couple of the pitchers from last year's Delmarva team that didn't really light it up? Guys like Palsha and Roth. Do you see them still getting promoted? Cut? Just wondering since they weren't listed.

    Nice work overall!

    Ryan Berry, if healthy, should be at Bowie or at the very least Frederick.

    Dylan Bundy might start at Frederick, it wouldn't surprise me.
