I mean right now as of today 3/12/2015

I have heard so much of how we couldn't trade Bundy, how he is a top prospect, even after TJ surgery, and so we traded ERod who our crack development staff had struggled to develop.

but now Bundy is hitting 91-93 with his fastball and getting hit around in ST by a bunch of minor leaguers, while ERod is a LH'er sitting at 96-97 and has now logged 5.2 innings in ST with 0 runs 0 Walks, and 7K

The developmental staff did not "struggle" to develop Rodriguez, he was on top #100 lists before the beginning of last season. Now it is true that for some reason he struggled last season up until the point he got traded (or maybe slightly before).

And he is also not "sitting" 96-97. He is "touching" 96-97.

I'm all Orioles here and frankly its Rodriguez by a mile. I don't understand this fascination and obsession, in some cases, with Bundy, who obviously is not the same pitcher he was before TJS. I would have no problem moving him in a heartbeat to fill a pressing need.:cool:

How is it obvious? Got to give him time to get back to form before you start worrying.

Wow, can we not give the guy a little more time?

Bundy is a top prospect (26th according to KLaw) because of his talent and potential. It was noted when we traded for Miller that we did give a significant return for just a 2 month rental... but thats what had to be done for our playoff run.

FWIW don't bring up spring training stats when trying to compare players... Thats just wrong.

We can, and we should. However, the post-surgery results so far are not that encouraging. It's time to be a bit worried about Bundy IMO.

Yep, and I bet the Orioles are concerned too. Matt Harvey had surgery 4 months later and is hitting 99.

Good grief. How much time did we give Jake? Though even that was not enough? How much time did we give Daniel Cabrera for God's sake? Dylan Bundy's makeup and work ethic and intelligence will continue to lead to further improvements. We will be very glad in 2016 that we did not pull a premature plug on this young man.

Anyone who disagrees with this does not know baseball. Bundy may not be the best high school pitcher since Dwight Gooden any longer, but he is not Jason Berken either.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
