Edgar's numbers

A former third round pick, Olmos has four times ranked among the Marlins’ top 30 prospects, per Baseball America. He’s ranged from Nos. 15 through 24, most recently coming in at No. 23 last offseason. BA noted that a move to the bullpen had his velocity up in the mid-90s, and he features a slider that is an average pitch at times and a changeup that can be a “true third offering.” Their scouting reports notes that he could become a situational lefty.

So now that's two bullpen lefty options. BMatz might be in trouble.

He isn't in trouble, he was tendered a contract.

He's golden.

Might not be with the Orioles but he is in fine shape for the 2016 season.

I loved him in Stand and Deliver.

Why? They already tendered him a contract.

Hmm. Lake was DFA already. And the team still has to add the Rule 5 guy and ODay to 40 man.

I was talking in terms of being an Oriole.

Various rumors say he may move to the rotation if they can't get a lefty starter via trade or free agency. Perhaps this is just preparing for that?

I don't think that makes a huge difference to him.

Not anywhere near the level of angst as him being non-tendered.
