He had a very poor second half of the season. I am as lukewarm on TJ as any player on this team.... Meh.

Chen is a LHP. Chen is likely gone. TJ is a LHP.

TJ McFarland come on down! You're the new LHP in the Orioles rotation. And at bargain basement rates, too!

I don't know... "HR", "BB", and "WP" would all be pretty bad.

"BB" occurred to me; I still think TJ is far worse... akin to "VD" as initials for a call girl.

"HR" is pretty bad.

Wrong number of letters, but I kinda think "HBP" could be sorta intimidating. Especially combined with coke-bottle eyewear.

Why?....

Because Givens is better. We also have Worley/Wilson to provide extended innings when needed.

I'm not taking anything away from TJM's performance tonight. It was a big, timely contribution. It was against Tampa.

Also, when can TJM pitch again? Tuesday? I don't think Buck will chose to play with a man down on Sunday and Monday.

Agreed. We don't need three long men in the bullpen. Matusz should be replacing MacFarland, Wilson, or Worley. I'm all for keeping as many guys that miss bats in the bullpen as possible.

With 5 righthanded starters lefty McFarland probably fits the long man role better then anyone else the O's have. Especially the way he pitched tonight.

Worley is safe because of his 2.6m contract. Wright, Wilson and Givens are the other pitchers with options. Wright probably starts on Sunday. Wilson has pitched well. Givens has had his problems so far this season. I can see him being the one optioned.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.

      Jim'sKid26 ok down in Ashville

      By George Zuverink · Posted

      Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .

      Hopefully he will spend money to keep guys long term.    This was a puff piece.

      At least Joe Jackson seemed to be a decent human.
