LOL, Adam Jones.

Adam Jones ‏@SimplyAJ10

My only thing. Is @Dylan_Bundy but younger than Palmer when he made his debut? I need this

Palmer was 4 months younger, it turns out, and also pitched 2 scorless innings. You just know he's got to drive the current players crazy, but he truly was an all-time great.

Wally Bunker was 18 years, 8 months and 4 days when he debuted. McNally was also very young, 19 years, 10 months, 26 days. The O's weren't shy in those days.

"I'm not going to get into that discussion and I'll tell you why. I'm already on the record as to what the organization's philosophy is. We don't think it's a good pitch for young pitchers. We think there are much better pitches and pitchers have better long-term success with a different mix of pitches. I think his other pitches are much better for getting out major league hitters," Duquette said.

Britt Ghiroli has just interviewed Dylan

[on if he has done away with the cutter, which the organization took away this season] ?No, it?s not out of my repertoire. I?ve always had it. I?ve thrown it in bullpens. Ever since spring training I?ve kept it in my back pocket. I still have a feel for it. If it comes to that time and I feel like I can throw it for a strike, I?m gonna.?

I hope I am watching the first time Wieters calls for a fastball and Bundy crosses him up with a cutter.

So are the Orioles burning one of Dylan's options by calling him up? How does the whole option thing work in September now that rosters have expanded?

No, Bundy was ALREADY on the 40 man roster. So his 2012 option was "burnt" when he was sent to the minors in spring training. He can be sent down in 2 more seasons (Presumably 2013 & 2014). He would not be able to be sent to the minors in 2015 if he has spent any time in each of 13 & 14 in the minors.

This is not a concern that is keeping me awake at night!

He actually gets a fourth option because he was added to the 40-man at such a young age. Unless this was changed in the new CBA.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
