Per Melewski:

Before today's game, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette indicated that Dylan Bundy is likely to stay with Single-A Delmarva at least through five more starts. Bundy is expected to go four innings in his next two starts and then move to five-inning outings. Duquette said Bundy is expected to remain a Shorebird at least through his first three five-inning outings.

Seems like overkill to me, but whatever.

In one of the other Bundy threads, Dr. Shorebird suggested he would be in Delmarva for 9 total starts: 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5. This is how it sounds like it's playing out. Kudos to Doc for the scoop.

I'm not crazy about it, but I too am not concerned.

What would we do with Bundy on the really distant chance that in August and September we are in a pennant race?

Would we bring him up like Tampa Bay did with Price in 08?

Not unless somehow he is within his innings limit.

I wonder about this with the Nats. Here they are with a very solid chance to compete throughout the year, but he's got a limit of 160 innings. The Nats chance at making a run in October decrease dramatically without Strasburg at the top of that rotation. That said, they have to take the long view. His long term health, as well as the continued growth of their prospects will mean sustained success for them over the next several years. Still, I wonder, should they shut him down for a couple weeks here and there, or a month overall at some point, so that they can have him in October? Or would that just add to the health risks?

I wonder if they would consider sending him straight to Bowie after his nine starts in Delmarva?

I am anxious to see what Dylan can do with some higher quality competition, but I don't think it's the worst thing to keep him at Delmarva for all of his inning-restricted starts.

EDIT- If Delmarva sticks with the 6-man rotation, Dylan's ETA for a promotion would be around May 25.

Start 5- 4/30, Start 6- 5/6, Start 7- 5/12, Start 8- 5/18, Start 9- 5/24

I hope he goes to Frederick for a while. There is a series in June and one in early August in Myrtle Beach so I could see him pitch. Beyond my self interest I doubt they skip a level with him. Duquette has been pretty clear about how players should progress through the system.

I'm 15 minutes from Harry Grove so I hope he gets some time in Frederick, and as you said, I'm sure he will.

Thanks for noticing. I mentioned it on WBOC-TV during a live interview with Sports anchor Scott Abraham as Dylan Bundy was pitching in the second inning on MOnday April 24, so I thought I should also mention it on the Hangout on April 25.

I figured you were in the know. I just hoped you were wrong. Unfortunately, you weren't. :)

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
