So he should face Volpe and Judge in the first inning with those poor matchups? How does that make sense? -

Something tells me you are not familiar with the concept of progressive overload. Jumping into the deep end is never the answer. Bradish tearing his UCL is not inevitable at this stage. If anything, chucking him out there for 95 pitches because he pitched 80 last time could only make it worse. Also, the stress of a Spring Training or minor league rehab start is not the same stress as an MLB start against a division opponent with whom you'll be in a year-long division race. -

I don't want to take anything away from Baumann, because his line last night was quite good. But last night's game was just one of those where ALL of the bats were silent. You or I could have tossed 2 scoreless last night IMO. That's just how that game went. Oswaldo Cabrera does not hit. He ambushed Burnes after a frustrating moment and ran into one that beat us by an eyelash. Outside of that anomaly, nobody did anything noteworthy. -

I made my prediction before knowing this for sure....thanks for posting though! I think this move makes the most sense. -
I just never got the Carter love or why anyone thought he should get the bonus he got. He was coming off a horrid junior season and even in his "breakout" sophomore season he struck out too much against inferior college pitching. I've never seen him flash a plus tool, he was a huge disappointment defensively, and he just can't hit. The fact that they spent 30K on a guy like Jalen Vasquez and he looks like a much better player in almost every aspect really shows that no matter how far evaluations have come, there are still going to busts and guys who "overachieve" based on draft status. The one thing the Carter situation hopefully taught the Orioles brass is that you can't just ignore college stats (particularly when they are not good) from a hitter's perceptive. They've tried this tact a few times now and not surprising, they can't hit in the pros either. -
Funny you should mention this. I was thinking about how much I like Aaron Judge. Seems like a good dude...you don't see him showing up umps or staring at opposing pitchers. Despite the fact that I loathe the Yankees, they do seem like they bring in high-character guys. Not sure about Soto...he seem like a bit of a prima donna. -

Counter suggestion - no kid gloves/no babying. If he’s healthy enough to join the rotation just let him pitch. He threw 80 pitches his last outing. That is akin to what guys do in Spring Training. If he’s hurt or if the joint has tearing that will eventually require surgery, there’s nothing that you can do to avoid what’s inevitable.
