Gassaway is coming off of a really disappointing season, to the point of thinking he’s one more poor season away from getting released.

I doubt he’s really viewed as a prospect anymore, more of a good org player. So not terribly surprised, maybe next year they throw him a bone like they did with Rosa this year.

Frobby Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Buck also implied tonight that if Cobb hadn’t been signed, they might have kept Harvey as the fifth starter. “If we hadn’t found Cobb, you would have seen him real quick.” http://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/2018/03/showalter-on-cobb-harvey-and-mesa-jr-os-down-2-1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall at that upstairs conversation about the strategy for his usage this year. I'm hoping he becomes our chess piece to match Chad Green this summer. If his health cooperates, we'll want his talent for the wildcard game and there's no way he makes it to October if he carries a regular SP usage pattern in the first half. If his Bowie starts look like Tanner Scott's, the only freaking out I'll be doing is the happy kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the reason for the early send down. I mean they didn’t even wait for him to start the Orioles v. Norfolk game. Maybe because it wouldn’t have been 10 days since he was sent down. Harvey was sent down before his scheduled ST start vs NYY. When is the first time we need a 5th SP? April 6th @ NYY. Maybe Buck didn’t want them getting a look at Harvey. Wright has pitched his way off the team. Castro maybe has too. Cortes has been “ok”. The Yankees have a real good book on Cortes. Why not have Harvey come up for that one start?

As I said on the 20th in the 21st game thread the rainout against the Rays could very well lead to Harvey getting bumped since Castro and Cortes needed the work and Harvey wasn't going to be going north. That is all I think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFFNY Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 On 3/6/2018 at 8:06 PM, ChuckS said: Any chance that he starts in AA- Bowie ??? The Advanced-A Frederick rotation is going to be crowded, regardless. On 3/6/2018 at 8:20 PM, OFFNY said: o I suspect that there is a good chance that he starts the season at AA-Bowie instead of Advanced-A Frederick, and I'll explain why. The reason being is that last September when Roy Firestone first informed us that he had heard from a source within the organization that Harvey could conceivably be promoted to the Orioles as early as June of 2018, he said that it was contingent on "how well he pitches at AA-Bowie in April and May." Hence, the language that was used in that piece of information makes me sense that he will be pitching at the AA-level In April and May instead of at the Advanced-A level. o o Orioles' Hunter Harvey: Starts Season with Three-Inning Limit (RotoWire Staff) https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/orioles-hunter-harvey-starts-season-with-three-inning-limit/ o FROM PAGE 18 (September of 2017) On 9/4/2017 at 6:56 PM, Roy Firestone said: I'm just repeating what one Oriole insider told me this week., It's someone who knows, and it's not Jim Palmer.

I feel like with over 9,000 posts around here you would have a general idea of how player are developed, especially pitchers. The Orioles are not going to put Harvey in the rotation at the start of this season, it's just not going to happen. Buck is keeping him around because as long as he can get his work in and get himself ready to be a starter in the minors, he might as well gain the experience against better hitters than over in minor league camp. Nothing wrong with keeping him around the major league pitchers and coaches as long as possible as long as he's getting the innings he needs to prepare for the season which the Orioles have found a way to do. Well 10 games in and he’s up. Hasn’t thrown a single pitch this season. It’s almost like he started his season with us. Nobody is wrong here. We’re all Oriole fans. We all want to win. I just had an opinion and stuck to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they want him in case they need a long man in the next couple days, and then he’ll be back down. They won’t burn him in a 1-2 inning situation, I don’t think. With our three best starters scheduled for Monday-Wednesday, and a day off on Thursday, he may not see any action if we’re lucky (though I must admit, I’m dying to see him in action just out of curiosity).
