Lefty Reliever

[backwardsk]

Roch mentions the Orioles interest in a lefty reliever coming off an elbow injury.

Any idea who that may be?

Jake McGee?

Jake McGee?

Didn't he have elbow surgery two years ago? He came back this year, pitched well, but had a knee injury. Doubt Tampa would trade him to us.

Maybe Corey Luebke? Padres version of Bundy, tough luck kid with ace potential. $7.5M team option. He has been a starter but I could see turning him into a reliever coming off two elbow surgeries.

Good idea

Surprised to hear Price has an interest in pitching for the O's.

Re: Jordan Zimmermann, LOL NOPE. ~40% ground ball rate and his HR/FB rate doubled last year.

Great walk rate, but yeah, low K's, good #2/#3 but we need a #1.

Very surprising to hear that. Especially while he is in the playoffs pitching for Toronto!

He is a lefty and I thought he was nicked up again, with another elbow thing, but I dont follow MLB as active as I follow the Orioles.

He will lose that interest when we top out our offer at 4/60.

last time I checked Price while a lefty was and is not a reliever, which is what this thread was supposed to be about.

Since when has that stopped anyone? At least it was not another hijack to vent about Duquette/Cruz.

Give it time...

LOL, I think he already tried to.

This year wasn't his best but I still like him. Zimmermann is better than any pitcher we've got. Great walk rate like you said and he's still punching out over 7 per 9. He's also been very durable.

For sure, he's no David Price or Zack Greinke.

Jason Garcia, who made it through his Rule 5 season, could begin the 2016 season at Bowie or Triple-A Norfolk. He isn't expected to break camp with the Orioles, but we've got a long way to go before crafting the 25-man roster.

Uggggggh. :rolleyestf: But it's probably the best move. Watch them play yo-yo with the guy next year only to put him on waivers when he runs out of options.

He can't run out of options next year.
