    He keeps this up maybe a team will be willing to eat a little of his contract to take him on. Won’t get much back.

    Maybe we can get some International slots for him. 

    Do we really need a team to eat much of his contract?  If we trade him in July he'll be owed under $4M to finish the season.  I would much rather see if we could get someone in a team's top 20 than get salary relief. I know looks can be deceiving, but Cashner is not only posting good numbers but he is passing the eye test.

    The Case For: Austin Wynns

    I wouldn't put him as #1 right now, but he does seem to be getting a few more starts (though I'm sure the game times helped that more than anything.) If Wynns and Joseph split time, that is fine by me. Get him used to working with the pitchers that will be here next year.

    His hitting is definitely better than even I thought it would be right now, as he is going the other way on some tough pitches. His hit off Kimbrel and his opposite field grouder against the Rays shift are the two recent examples that I didn't see him do a lot of in the minors.

    Defense is as advertised. Should have a higher "caught stealing" percentage if Nunez and Beckham could field better, but it happens.

    Orioles post game shows with Dempsey seem to really love Wynns.

    I see no reason not to give Wynns the majority of the starts the rest of the season.  What value does Joseph have?  He only has a little more control left and if all goes as planned, Sisco or Cumberland will eventually take over as the Orioles starting catcher.  We know what Joseph is - may as well see what we have in Wynns.
