Who's our 5th starter if we don't add anyone else

[Rene88]

Psssst...Its Mike Wright.

I hope he works but much rather see Wilson. I think Wright destined for the pen. I like him though, hope he kicks some butt out there.

[JayThomas]

Why not Francisco Liriano? Oh, sorry ...

Does anyone know if Gausman has done extended Spring Training or is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game? Have not heard much about him lately.

From Ed Encina:

Kevin Gausman to throw 35-pitch bullpen tmrw, still on pace for April 19 return frm DL. Buck said he'll get 3-IP and 5-IP outings b4 return.

Wrong thread?

That is the lineup that Mike Wright will be facing today.

And while there may be an official 5th starter that Showalter has named, and it may not be Mike Wright, to me, after Tillman, Jimenez, and Gallardo (and Gausman, who is currently rehabbing at AA-Bowie and AAA-Norfolk), the whole bunch of them (Wright, Wilson, Worley, etc.) are essentially 5th starters and/or battling for the 5th starter spot until the picture becomes clearer.

Gotcha

Does anyone think Miranda could be on the fast track up? We need a lefty, I think it's certainly possible.

Does anyone think it is a good idea if they call up Gausman after a two and perhaps five inning stint today? The bullpen is being used alot and taking a guy who has pitched about 2 plus innings in a month of real games does not seem to help.

I have no faith in any of the O's current starters to get into the sixth inning.

Five clean would be a pleasant change of pace.

I think we are just one solid starter away from being a complete team. Just one solid starter.

So, then Gausman.

[Il BuonO]

I think the only decently solid starters we have are Tillman, Jimenez, Gausman and (hopefully) Gallardo. That leaves one more spot in our rotation. Maybe Bundy, Wright or Wilson?

Bundy doesn't figure into the equation until later in the season. Worley, Wright and to a lesser extent Wilson are merely place holders.

[weams]

Norfolk made room for a starter today. They released Redmond.

[theobird]

Worley really showed me something last night. I think his stuff will play, and he looks more than solid enough to be the #5 on this staff.
