6.725 including next year.

Wow. He doesn't need to work a day in his life ever again assuming he never pitches again.

Heck, you can probably get by with $500k at early age invested wisely and never work again.

Jealous:)

Honestly I think there is a good case to be made for trading him before next season. I realize his value is low now but it will become even lower once he is stuck on the 2016 Orioles ML roster. I don't see how he is going to be successful next season with such little experience at any level of play beyond high school. If they play him in 2016, he will probably hurt the team, and if they don't play him, his skills will atrophy even further.

Maybe it's best for both the Orioles and Bundy for him to start fresh in another team's minor league system if the Orioles can get a significant piece out of the deal.

I think it is best for him to play as an Oriole next season as he is under team control until 2021.

How can he play in someone else's minor league system? If he is out of options it doesn't matter who he is with. He will be in someone's bullpen next year. Unless on injury rehab.

If the issue is forced, I'd be fine with him being stashed in the MLB bullpen next year, to see what he can do. Treat him like a Rule 5 guy you don't really want to play but don't want to lose. The Orioles are completely in love with Ryan Flaherty and they like MacFarland, I bet they try to hold onto Bundy even if he struggles throughout next year.

My guess is 60-day.

The DL stint length doesn't effect the length of rehab assignment. If they are trying to hide him than the DL is good but if he is going to develop he needs to be in bullpen for majority of season.

    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
    • I just think it’s too soon to think about sending him down.  Two more weeks like this?  It definitely would be time.  But I’ll bet we don’t see two more weeks like this.
