Olmos is back

[TheWall]

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 really hope that isn't our plan.

If your manager doesn't trust you to come in and get out three right handed batters in a row you are not a rotation candidate.

Not saying I'm excited by the idea. Just something I read on the interwebs.

Olmos is out of options.

In a world where Tony Sipp is getting 3/$18 mm, I wouldn't worry about Matusz. The O's could cut him and it would only cost 30 days' pay (about $500 k), but they won't do that. If anything, they'll look to trade him, and there will be takers.

Then he is a bullpen candidate only. I thought they might start him at AAA if he wasn't.

I'm not worried about Bmatz at all. I wouldn't have tendered him anyways. All i was trying to say is his time with the Orioles could be done.

We will DFA him for O'Day. To try to do what the Angels and Cubs both tried. The Paredes solution.

They always try to promote the possibility of him being a starter again as well. Good chance if they like what they see with these last 2 lefty options this is the year he gets moved.

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

Pretty sure we had 39 on the 40-man at the time of the Rule 5 Draft, so that is taken care of already. We will have to DFA someone when we add O'Day, that is true.

This guy doesn't look very good ... Mediocre minor league numbers. Can't see his splits on my phone.

This is correct.

Big tall 6'5" 220 lbs. Lefty. Third rounder.

Matusz is pretty much a match up lefty at this point. He only faces righties in blowouts or as a last resort. With the depth of our pen if they think these new options can be effective vs lefties then I think they try to save some money.

Who says the Orioles would be quiet at the winter meetings? Edgar Olmos and a rule v guy all in the same week
