Allocation of Innings

Well, I'm kind of lumping them together, because we don't who is the 5th starter, but they're all in the mix for the long men.

Mike Wright is the fifth starter. The was is over. Unless he loses the job, which giving up four runs in five innings won't do.

He'll lose his job if that becomes his typical outing. I think Buck gives him about 8 starts, then we'll see where this is.

The Orioles and the Pitching staff is always in flux. What the Orioles start the season with is never what they end up with.

The OP seems to think that NONE of the Orioles Rookies or Minor Leaguers will make it to a Positive Side of WAR in the 2016 campaign. I disagree with this assumption.

Buck Showalter has a way of picking someone from the Minors to Spot Start for a game or two and be effective and on the Positive side of Replacement Level. Looking at the overall numbers by Wright last year does not mention his first two starts. He seems to be a pitcher taht will end up some where between the "Shutouts" and the Bombs. Wilson is not, has not been a big K pitcher BUT is an effective starter. Damn the K's, I like WINS.

    • I'm not convinced Yankee bias is as much a thing in award voting these days (including the All Star game). I can't think of any recent instances where a Yankee won a big award unduly.
    • He’s baaaack. DH for the FCL Orioles.  Walked his first time up.   The FCL Orioles have no other place for rehab games.  This is it!
    • Rodon has had two bad/blow up starts (one against us and one on Sat night against the Red Sox) in his last ELEVEN. 9 of those 11 starts were quality starts. Of those 9 quality starts, he actually (himself) not the team, won 8 of those games. I know it's 2024 and pitcher wins are discounted. But that is still uber impressive to me. To have 9 out of 11 games be quality starts is ace like IMO. So yes I would rather have the guy with 9 out of 11 quality starts as opposed to the guy with ZERO, the guy with FOUR, and the guy (who albeit was hurt for some of that time) has THREE. Rodon has more quality starts in that stretch than all 3 COMBINED. Of course, I know the counter argument could be that he has just been lucky and his peripherals aren't as good as he has pitched. For me, I would love for our guys to get that "lucky" consistently.
    • The way Gil is pitching right now is elite and if they don't throttle him back as innings are likely to be a concern at some point this summer according to YES and the NY media, and Gil keeps up what he's doing it will have nothing to do with the Yankee factor. He essentially replaced Cole while he was hurt and is putting a Cy Young season together.
    • I'll believe it if he signs it, too.   If he wins the MVP this year, that contract is going to have to be higher than the BWJ contract, too.  
    • Any talk of RotY probability has to factor in that Gil is a Yankee and the voting will likely be biased by that. If Gil keeps pitching well no one else has a chance, and he’ll have to drop off a good bit to open the door IMO.    Maybe I’m putting too much stock into the Yankee thing, but I don’t think so. Media guys love them some Yanks. 
    • Wait, there’s a ZERO chance he turns down the Witt contract.   Haven’t you heard?   Not that they will offer him the Witt contract.
