Call me crazy but... I think the Yac might be successful as a starter.  When I've seen him this year, his off-speed stuff looked dramatically better than last year.  

He's not consistent enough to be a starter and stuff drops off after 50 pitches or so. I think a Brad Brach role will be has best. It's never been about stuff with Yac, just has to find a way to be consistent with a very inconsistent windup.

You're crazy.  Any other brilliant predictions, genius?

Glad he's back. 

Like Dylan Bundy, he tries hard.

Unlike Dylan Bundy, he's not any damn good. But he seems to have a rubber arm and we sure have yanked him around developmentally speaking, so I kind of feel bad for the guy. I think it's pretty likely he finds his way back to the 40-man at some point next year.

I'm too lazy to look up the guidelines, any chance he's a MiLFA?

This is his 7th year in the O's organization. I've lost track of the rules, too, but didn't they used to call them six year minor league free agents?

I think it's 7 years, so... he might actually be following this season?

Q. How long are Minor League players required to remain with the team that drafted them before they are eligible to negotiate with another team?

A. According to Major League Rule 3(b), "All Minor League Uniform Player Contracts between either a Major or a Minor League Club and a player who has not previously signed a contract with a Major or a Minor League Club shall be for a term of seven Minor League playing seasons."

No surprise. I wonder how many of our fringe guys are legitimate risks to be claimed? Probably none of the guys without remaining options, at least.
