Camden Depot: Oriole Real Fifth Starter?

Throughout the offseason, several drums beat for the Orioles unendingly. One of those drums was a search for a viable southpaw to diversify their starting rotation. Conventional wisdom suggests that a rotation performs better when there is a lefty in the mix as it makes clubs less succeptible to teams with a high density of exceptional left handed bats. Currently, the left handed starters the Orioles have in their system are simply not ready for prime time and with the trials and tribulations of Kevin Gausman and Miguel Gonzalez, a new starting option might be preferable. Around the league, though, several left handers are battling it out for fifth starter gigs or are looking in from outside the expected rotation. Perhaps one of these players could be acquired.

I've never been one for conventional wisdom. I just want a good starter. He could throw with his forehead for all that matters.
