AAA Depth at best?

[LC_O's_87]

Good Insurance when 40% of your rotation is either Wright, Wilson, Gallardo, and/or Worley.

Don't see a single guy at AAA that you would want to call up either. Despaigne's been awful.

Wandy can still spin that curveball. Lefty as well which is a plus.

He pitched decent last year and had a pretty good ST. Wright and Wilson are just now getting stretched out in the rotation. Mac has 1 career MLB start. Gallardo hasn't started his rehab yet. I'd like to see Wandy tear up AAA.

The sad thing is that he might be just as good as all those options and Gallardo.

I really like Mac. But Wandy would be nice as a guy to spot start vs teams with a bunch of LH's. The problem with our starting depth is that it's all in the bullpen right now and not getting stretched out or in a routine. Worley, Macfarland, Bundy.

I think we just basically saw Wandy Rodriguez pitch last night in John Danks. Lefty pitcher that has lost his fastball and tries to get guys out still but being 37 years old.

Well I guess you can always use more pitching in 3A.

Eh, why not? Rodriguez used to be a very consistent starter, but he's two years removed from his last such season and hasn't thrown more than 75 innings since 2012. I am overwhelmed with indifference, but I understand

the move. Let's see if he has anything left.

Oops, he threw 205.2 in 2012 and threw 62.2 in 2013. Read the stat sheet wrong. Either way, indifference overcomes me.

Well that's okay to be indifferent about Wandy and a minor league deal.

If he does eventually make it to the O's this year, I wonder what nickname Buck will assign a guy who already has a nickname (or at least one that sounds like one)?
