Knee? Like always?

I'm not sure always.

Just saying he had a sprained knee to start the season (missed 5 weeks), so it takes a while to get back into your routine.

Anyways, back to ERod's rankings prior to 2014 season:

Baseball America: #3 Orioles prospect

Baseball America: #65 best in baseball

MLB.com: #68 best in baseball

ESPN: #43 best in baseball

Baseball Prospectus: #61 best in baseball

Yes, he was. Then in his first 8 starts he posted a 5.93 ERA. In his next 8 starts, right before the trade, his ERA was 3.67. So, while I do think his stock had dropped a little bit from the pre-season, he was still a top 100 guy in my mind (rated #65 by BA pre-season). He certainly raised his stock by pitching lights-out after the trade.

His last 8 starts were not lights out:

His last 8 starts were not lights out:

No, they weren't. 3.67 ERA is not lights out. But it's a lot better than 5.93. By the way, the game log you posted starts one game too soon, and ends one game too soon. EdRod's last game for us was on 7/27/14 and was not a very good one. Basically, 4 of his final 8 outings were very good, and the other four were not very good.

Sorry about that, i guess my cut and paste slipped a line.

Not sure, how he got a 3.67 with that many runs allowed and going less than 4.1 innings, 3 times.

Basically, the fewer innings you throw, the less that game will be weighted in calculating ERA. In the four good games, he pitched 26 innings and allowed 4 ER (1.38 ERA). In the four bad ones, he pitched 15.2 innings and allowed 13 ER (7.47 ERA). But the four good ones count almost twice as much because he pitched nearly twice as many innings in those outings. 17 ER in 41.2 IP = 3.67 ERA.

Thanks for the explanation. It almost sounds like they were managing his stats and trade potential by yanking him early in several starts.

Could be, but I doubt it. Here were his pitch counts in the 8 starts (asterisks by the short ones): 87, 102, 95*, 99, 94*, 88*, 86, 88*. He was throwing a lot of pitches per inning in those short starts.

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:

Oh dear...

I don't really. It's all good natured kidding. I probably wrote that after Seattle lit him up. Regardless a lot of people were whistling the same tune at that time. That said, I hope can stay healthy and can have a big time career.

I'll pile it on again today ;)

    • Well, Westburg could start at 2nd instead of Mateo.   McCann could be used as just a back up catcher instead of using him just to get an extra RH bat in the lineup. He's been in 19 of the teams 41 games. That seems a bit excessive for a guy that's just a backup.   You really don't have to squint to see an opportunity for a player to get a chance... especially if he can start hitting rather quickly.
    • I honestly haven't seen his defense enough but someone with his bat should find a job somewhere, if not for the Orioles.
    • Harrison Bader of the Mets is another option.  He's an above average center fielder,so would help on defense.  He doesn't bring much offensively, with a .659 OPS and only 1 HR this year.  His OPS against LHP this year is barely above .600, but for his career, he hits LHP better w/ a .807 OPS. 
    • Does he have the defense? After adjusting his numbers down (from triple a to MLB), do you think he can hang on full time?  I really like him, but don’t know enough about projecting players.  Thanks for the wisdom.
    • That’s my point. Mateo has great range at 2nd base. With all the bat talk, have we really discussed how good Mateo has been at 2B?  We haven’t really seen him play there in his Oriole career.  What is Mateo’s range like compared to other MLB 2B purely at 2B?  Can that be looked up? Rep to anyone that knows. 
    • The only way McCann goes somewhere is if somehow a Catcher with options hits the DFA market, we claim him, and down the road McCann gets hurt and said catcher wins the job.  In the playoffs, we’ll see Adley catching every game. That’s our big advantage. Adley’s bat at the catcher spot.  Urias for Mayo/Holliday is what the long term goal should be for August. Urias is a fine regular season player, but this team can go to another level offensively if Mayo/Holliday can get to a .750 OPS in the MLB the rest of the season. Similar to how we developed Gunnar last year. 
    • Wagner and Horvath are the only real disappointments so far for me. How much does injury play a role in that? The tiers with the bats look to be, Potential Stars/All Stars - Holliday, Mayo, and Basallo Everyday starters for the O’s  - Kjerstad, Beavers, EBJ Platoon Player/starter for another MLB team - Norby Too Early to tell/Flawed - Horvath, Wagner, Fabian, Willems, Etzel
