You don't know that' date=' pure speculation. Only Gausman has made it to the MLB and plenty of good players have been drafted in the compensation rounds.[/quote']

Bundy hasn't made it to the Majors?

Somebody tell Baseball Reference and Fangraphs!

http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=12917&position=P

So who was it exactly that the O's called up in 2012?

Okay, a September callup, who pitched less than 2 innings, and has since had TJ. He has lost 3-4 MPH off of his fastball, and he has fallen from #1 overall prospect to the 15- 20 range.

In other words, I don't see Gausman spending anymore time in the minors, whereas Bundy may not be in the majors for a couple more seasons.

A pity. But understandable.

So you think the O'S may try and pass him through waivers in 2016?

I do not think that is likely at all.

Just watch he's gonna play 120 games in 2015. This might be a long year.

So you take RH bat for DH and off bench to mean he's gonna play 120 games? Wow, you're relentless dude!

2014 was a long year, what with the playoffs and all.

Oh yeah, Markakis resigning within 72 hours of Cruz signing with Seattle is really going to doom this team in the future. Oh wait.

Keeping those two might have cause him to make a cut somewhere else.

Saving money does not win WS. Talent does, and when we see who replaces the 3 talented ones that were let go, we will probably wish they were back. They were signed quickly for IMO, reasonable amounts. No, not dumpster prices, but fair MLB prices in this day and age. A shut down reliever, at least 80% of Cruzes 2014 production and an everyday player against all kinds of pitching and a Gold Glover to boot is what we need to replace them with. Anything less will be a definite step backward and a HUGE disappointment.

Orioles are banking on 2015

1. Manny can play 145 games

2. Davis will be better in 2015

3. Matt will come back and be good with the bat

4.Pearce picking up where he left off

5. De Aza and Lough having good years.

    • I’d go even farther. I’m not trading any of top 4 prospects including Kjerstad. I would not trade Cowser as well. We still have a large amount of depth in the system. A trade example would be Stowers, Norby, Liranzo, Forret, Elvin Garcia. That is plenty to get a number 2/3 starter. 
    • Ugh I hope not. Please move on from players that were brought in originally to tank     unless you do this to replace Mcdermott at AAA
    • Here’s another list from “the other guys”. It doesn’t appear Holliday is eligible here, just an FYI: Os have 4 on this list including Estrada and Etzel.
    • I don’t.  He passed rookie eligibility two years ago.   
    • I think Fangraphs decides who’s eligible as of the start of the season.  Unlike other publications that release all their team lists at the same time, Fangraphs slow rolls theirs over a 6 month period or so.   Therefore, to put all the teams on the same footing, they base eligibility as of the start of the season.   
    • Clearly he has a roster spot for a playoff series with the Yankees….
    • My stance would be pretty simple. Im not trading any of the top 3 prospects and im not trading any of the young talent that is controlled long term that is currently on the ML roster. That means besides the very obvious guys that players like Cowser and Kjerstad are also off the board. Now, if a player like Skubal becomes available, that could cause me to change my mind but as I look around at the reported available players, I don’t see anyone worth a top 20 prospect or young contributing ML talent. Guys like Norby and Stowers fall into that latter category but they aren’t here right now and they are just redundant on our roster. So I’m telling teams if you want to deal with us, guys like Norby, Stowers and Beavers are who will lead deals and that several vets, led by Mountcastle, are also on the board in any potential contender/contender(fringe contender) type deal. I think whether it’s Fedde or relievers like Estevez or Nardi or Garcia or even Scott, I think we have enough to get deals done without trading any of the guys we would rather not lose. This is all to say that I just don’t see that proven elite high end talent available this deadline to justify trading any of those top guys.
