What role could Bundy play later this season?

[weams]

How can I argue with someone who is making a case that Tommy Hunter was a better closer than Britton?

Britton is obviously better. Hunter just has better counting stats. And results.

So, great conversation on Britton. How about that Bundy guy?

You keep using "counting stat" as some kind of argument on a guy who's had 11 save opportunities, and blown one of them on a swinging bunt that his 3B makes the play on 90% of the time. Using the stats you're using (blown saves and save percentage) is pretty poor at this point, IMO.

You say that Britton is obviously better but Hunter had better results. What's your point?

My point is closer is a results oriented role only. I think we could use Zach in a role that is less absolute.

I think he could be a closer for us this September. He could pump some fastballs for a month. Or so.

The Orioles' top prospect recorded a career-high nine strikeouts and allowed two hits over five scoreless innings Saturday before short-season Aberdeen dropped a 3-1, 11-inning decision to visiting Brooklyn.

Bundy also walked one batter while facing two over the minimum in his second rehab start for the IronBirds. He retired the first nine batters before yielding a leadoff single in the fourth to Tucker Tharp. Four of the final five outs Bundy recorded were strikeouts.

"Fastball command, I was hitting corners," he said. "I still have things to work on, but I'm happy with it. First two innings, I felt like I was able to throw the fastball anywhere I wanted to. I just need to be able to that in the fourth, fifth, sixth, whenever.

"I was happy with my changeup today; it had some movement on it. This whole rehab progression, it's been pretty straight."

Keith Law saw his last start at Aberdeen:

I don't think he's close to ready in terms of helping the major league team as a starter. But, I could see him in the Baltimore Orioles' pen in September or going to the Arizona Fall League to help him build up some more innings and stamina before shutting it down for the winter.
