Didn't take long for our "surplus" of 7 quality starters to come down to the 5 still standing at Opening Day:

Guthrie

Britton

Tillman

Arrieta

Bergesen

x Duchscherer

x Matusz

Depth: exactly what the doctor ordered, knowing that patients always show up.

Doing it at the start of the season is certainly the easiest way but just ask Hardy if its possible for a team to still manipulate your service time after you get called up.

yeah Ms fans have been discussing this with pin. There is something you can do, I dont know exactly what it is though.

Looking forward to watching Britton, but don't like this decision at all. Why not give the start to Bergesen? If he isn't properly stretched out, just shoot for 4-5 innings and bring Hendrickson in or something. Not a fan.

Yeah...kind of agree with this. I'm beyond excited to see him up here pitching, but losing that one year of arbitration stinks.

That's why I just sat back and waited.

I'm happy for him.

That being said, this makes no sense to me. Why go through all of the hoops to make sure his service clock doesn't begin, and then call him up for the 3rd game of the year? Nobody else in the minors could make a spot start?

Agree 100%. I'm a little concerned that Britton had his "head" set for a couple of

tune ups before the majors. Springing this on him will test him on many levels.

There is no way this is going to be allowed to pitch the whole season up here anyway. You are not going to ask a kid to go 30 plus starts in this division as a rookie. They could always send him down to the minors in late August to save on service time.

Pretty sure it doesn't work that way.

Hope its an April fools. If our organization believed in something, then I hope they stick with it. Obviously a TON of thinking went into their decision and im on board with that.

I'm sure they know what they're doing. But, it certainly is a puzzling move after everything that's happened in the past few days. :scratchchinhmm:

      Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.

      On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games

      I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.

      Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
