The Orioles no 1 prospect faces the Hagerstown Suns in the last of a four game series. Dylan Bundy is due to pitch five innings in his scheduled penultimate start for the Shorebirds. Hopefully, he can rack up his first win for the O's and preserve his ERA.

Fixed that - Go Dylan - make them look like Desolation Row. Whatever you do, Don't Think Twice, It's Alright! Give them the Dirt Road Blues! Blow that heat by them like a Hurricane. Because after all the Keys are Waiting For You.

So what are the chances that Dylan is with the team in early July?

Slim to none IMO. The Orioles could say that he needs time and I believe that, but if the Orioles are competing for a playoff spot come the first day of September I would think the chances of him getting the call increase. I think the limitation on his innings are a concern and that could be the real reason why he wouldn't get the call unless we are a sure thing for the playoffs. When do the rosters expand in September?

      Reminds me of Miguel Gonzalez, who came out of nowhere to be a major contributor to some playoff runs.  I doubt he ends up as a rotation mainstay. But I was certain O'Hearn would turn into a pumpkin after a few weeks too and he still hasn't.

      If it weren’t for the service time component I think Holliday would have a very long leash before being sent down. He’s still contributing positively on defense and AAA pitchers just were not challenging him anymore. The priority above all else should be what is best for his long term development, and he needs to struggle against MLB pitching for longer than this to get to a point where you feel it’s doing more harm than good. I do think there can be some merit to the idea that MLB time exposes some weakness, which then can be worked on in a lower-stress environment in AAA, but I don’t think that’s strictly necessary since he’d be working on the same things against MLB pitching. However, the Orioles are now in a tricky situation where if it becomes apparent that Holliday is not going to win ROY, they have a strong incentive to send him down for at least a short stint to get the extra year. How they navigate that without that being totally transparent is tough. They could definitely do it now and nobody would claim service time manipulation given his struggles, but I don’t think they want to yet for purely development purposes. If he’s still struggling with around 100 PAs that’s when I think they make the move.

      Yea, definitely a concern. Hes a great story but really good pitchers don’t normally sit around in obscurity until their mid 30s.     It’s possible they found something in him but the realistic thing is that this is short lived but perhaps there is a role for him in the pen and he can have a late blooming career as a reliever.  Nothing wrong with that.

      The main concern I have is the amount of hard contact and looking at statcast bears that out. 15th percentile in Avg Exit Velocity at 91 MPH and 7th percentile in Hard Hit % at 51.6%.

      If he doesn't show anything, why would they bring hm back (especially to the rotation)?

      I'm sort of bracing for what happened in ST, which was that he started super strong and kind of faded with each start. He was already down a mph or so on his fastball in this last one, but then again he had a much better changeup this time.  So we'll see.
