I would really like to see us start taking it slow with prospects. Why not give Bundy a chance to dominate each level? If he really should be facing harder competition, it will be completely obvious after 100 IP.

You don't give a kid a major league contract and that kind of money to have him take four years to make it through the minors.

If his contract status changes the way we develop him, then it was a mistake to give him that contract. And "that kind of money" - huh? Plenty of top prospects take years to develop. Most of them, in fact. And the exceptions often look pretty rushed (Porcello, etc.).

That's like saying "I didn't pay 200 grand for this sports car to have to give it an oil change every 5000 miles". It's the other way around. If something is valuable to you, treat it with care.

Jacob Turner didn't start a High A but he advanced there pretty quickly his first full season and did well, so sure, it's possible he could handle it but the O's are not likely to start him there.

Average age in the Sally League is 21-22 and most of those players have had either 1-3 seasons of pro ball or 3 years of college ball. That's plenty of challenge for Bundy, and if he dominates that level for 6-10 starts you move him up.

Interesting tidbit from Klaw on Twitter:

If Dylan Bundy is arb-eligible in 2015 or 2016, he can't opt out. That seems like a pretty big win for Baltimore & loss for the player.

When asked if he thought Bundy would be eligible:

I do. And if arb gets moved up to 2 years instead of 3, it's even worse. RT @BrettAnderson49: @keithlaw gut feeling... you think he will be?

Guess that means the O's don't have to worry about super 2 status with him.

Interesting. Will also be interesting to see how arb rules come out in the new CBA.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
