Yes, you read that title correctly according to these tweets from the O's beat writers...

The dude looks much better than Bundy right now, and it's not even remotely close, IMO. Granted, it's not really a fair comparison because of the TJ surgery, but still.

If the O's are hard up for a reliever in a playoff race, it's gonna be Harvey, not Bundy.

It won't be Andrew Miller this year. And we have two starters leaving next off season.

But I was told how out of line I was to suggest this very thing earlier in spring training.

I'm confused.

There really needs to be an overwhelming need for it to be worth it.

I feel like this is somewhat motivation for Harvey as well.

"Out of line" seems a funny way to put it. Most people, including me, thought it was very unlikely that Harvey would be called up at any time this year. I still think that, regardless of what Roch and Eddie Encina are reporting.

Would "out of lockstep" be a better way of putting it?

After watch Dan work his thang for the past few seasons I could see a situation where he pulls the trigger and calls him up.

I don't think it will happen but I don't think Harvey not being on the 40 man would stop Dan.

If we are in contention at the end of August, Dan and Buck will do whatever they can to put anyone who they think can help in the dugout in September. I won't completely rule out that Hunter Harvey could be one of those guys. I just don't think it's very likely at all.

Roch expands on his earlier report

Bring up pitcher Hunter Harvey's name and watch his eyes light up. He can barely contain his enthusiasm.

The Orioles think Harvey, their first-round pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, has the potential to pitch for them later this summer. They're going to carefully monitor his innings early in the season to make sure he's available later and doesn't need to be shut down.

"You want those guys to experience a long season, but not have that taxation on their arms," Showalter said. "It's not like he's going to go back home to North Carolina for a month. It's just getting ahead of it. Be proactive instead of reactive. Don't wait until the innings are piled up and go, 'Oh my God, we've got to shut him down.'

"We want every one of these guys to be ready to impact. When September and October come, they're going to have innings left. (Kevin) Gausman last year, we backed off him. Everybody's goal is to play into October and play meaningful games in September, so it's crazy if all of a sudden this gets on top of you and have them pitch through it.

"Studies will tell you that you're going to pay the piper. It may not be that one, but you're going to pay. And who we are, we can't afford to have these guys get hurt. We have to be 15 starting pitchers deep in our organization between Double-A, Triple-A and the major leagues, and that's where we're going when someone goes down. We can't go buy another one.

"If you see somebody getting a three-inning start (in the minors), that's not their fault. It's shame on us if we're not ahead of us, because we're not going into somebody's backyard. We're going to Bowie and Norfolk's backyard. And don't get hot in Frederick or we'll get your (butt), too."

Showalter jokes that he's got to get Harvey out of camp soon - it could happen later today - so he's not tempted to take the right-hander to Baltimore in April.
