Dylan Bundy Updates

[spiritof66]

What? He gave up a run in the AFL? He has no curve ball? We've waited long enough for Bundy to come around -- package him in a trade for a mediocre veteran or two!

His curve was one of his four balls he threw.

95 is fine going forward.

This is a guy with four pitches, he doesn't need 97-98.

He doesnt need 97-98 but dont be surprised if he still touches that as he gets more reps. Gausman normally tops out around 95 in the beginning of ST which is comparable to Bundy's AFL stint this year (its essentially ST) for him.

Scott walked the first two batters he faced -- both lefties -- on 3-1 and 3-0 counts. But then threw 17 of his next 20 pitches for called or swinging strikes. Give him any kind of breaking ball that he can get over the plate and Tanner Scott could be as dominant as Andrew Miller.

Faced two of the best AFL hitters. And beat them.

95 MPH will due right now. Whatever level he has pitched in he has been a strike thrower. Today he throws 14 strikes out of 19 pitches. I am a little excited about what possibilities he could bring to the team next season.

Do you think he serves as the #5 starter or comes out of the BP?

Perhaps a hybrid of 7th inning guy in the beginning of the season, then starting in the second half to keep his innings down?

How about he starts out as a starter throwing one inning. Each month his innings per game goes up by 1, capping at 5, like this:

April - 1/gm

May - 2

June - 3

July - 4

Aug - 5

Sep - 5

This keeps him on a regular schedule and has him at about 110 innings heading into the playoffs.

That would be a massive drain on the BP.

In the past, hasn't there been points in the schedule where four pitchers worked? Maybe extended breaks could work?

I don't understand why that would be a massive drain on the bullpen. He would essentially be a member of the bullpen through July, but would start games instead of coming in later. The scheduled starter would follow him.

It might require carrying 13 pitchers in June and July. He would become one of the five starters in August, but limited to 5 innings per start.

"The scheduled starter would follow him. "

This is the part of your proposal I was missing.

I should have been clearer.

I'm as excited as everyone else that Bundy is healthy enough to pitch in the fall league. Unfortunately, a few innings in fall league is pretty meaningless in the big picture. I predict that Bundy will get a bunch of spring training innings (bunch in terms of spring training), then start the season on the disabled list and spend the maximum number of days rehabbing in the minors. That will get him another month or more removed from surgery and will get him some innings against AAA hitters. Then he will be used primarily in mop up roles the rest of the season. Bundy will basically be a rule 5 type guy in 2016. They may send him to winter ball after the '16 season to build some innings. I expect very little from Bundy in '16 and think the Orioles will protect him to the extreme in '16.

So what will his "injury" be?

If I am an opposing team I want to know.

This isn't some rule V guy, I'd be ready to raise a stink over it.

As for him being another month removed from surgery, he had surgery on June 27 2013. You really think another month is going to make a difference?

I agree this is his likely ceiling in 2016. However, it is better than him not pitching. He could easily take the winter off and continue rehabbing. This does signal that they think he is healthy enough to pitch competitively. Kind of like Manny stealing bases in spring training last year. Even if he does not have an impact until 2017, he is still our #1 prospect (at least for now).

I can see Manfred ruling against the Orioles.
