Holy crap that is atrocious!!!

They need a fifth. Bowie will look strong with Lee, Garcia, Gunkel, Miranda, and Hess. I'd imagine one of them is up there until Wilson/wright gets sent down.

Not so terrible for a AAA rotation. What is sad is that we have no home talent in the rotation and that are organizational depth is so poor that we only have MiLBFA and waiver claims in the rotation.

Lol, my initial reaction as well:)

Why isn't Gunkel at AAA? What does he have left to prove at AA?

Also Wilson or Wright will be back in AAA when Gausman is ready. Maybe sooner if the O's re-sign Miguel.

Then there is McFarland. Matusz is due back on April 10th. McFarland is the guy with the option to be sent down.

So Norfolk's rotation could be Wilson, Wright, Gunkel, McFarland and Despaigne by the end of April.

Saving a spot for Miggy.

Where does Harvey go when/if he's healthy?

Pretty sure he was slated to start at Frederick. I would guess the hope is to start there and get a cup of coffee in Bowie.

But obviously the only important thing for him right now is to get through a season.

* Miranda recorded 2 outs before departing in the 5th inning.

What is our expectation for Miranda? He's 27 years old. Do we still think he could be a ML starter or should we start looking at him as a reliever? I don't know if his stuff plays up in shorter appearances, but we know that's often the case with Britton being a prime example within the organization.
