Wonder if he's on an IP limit at all. He's already thrown 40 more IP than last year.  He and Akin have been the lone full season SP to put up big time results all year. 

I don't think he'll be on much of a limit.     Historically we've had a number of Delmarva pitchers who have thrown 140+ innings.    The record, since Delmarva became an Orioles affiliate, is 170 IP.   Ironically, that was set by another soft-tossing Australian lefty, John Stephens, who was in his age 19 season.    

I could see the Orioles getting cautious as he approaches the 150 mark.

If I am reading this post from Roch correctly, Wells' 12 starts in which he hasn't issued a walk are the most in organized baseball.    http://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/2017/07/notes-on-rumors-tonights-game-joseph-and-minor-matters.html.   As a team, the Shorebirds lead organized baseball with 19 walkless games.   

12 starts!? Most Orioles pitchers this season can't even get thru 12 pitches without a walk...

Wells hasn't allowed a run since June 30 and hasn't walked a batter since June 25.    He's allowed 10 hits in 25 IP in July.

It won't surprise me if they promote him, though I don't think it's something they must do.

If they shut Sedlock down, I would like to see him in Frederick.

He should be in Frederick regardless. 

Probably won't see him promoted to Frederick this year. He's thrown more in into than he ever has and it seems like we're trying to not get too carried away in his first season of pro ball. Probably the same thing holding Akin back too.

I've been on record as saying there was no hurry to promote Wells, but the way he has dominated in July -- no runs, no walks, 0.40 WHIP -- I also wouldn't oppose a promotion at this point.   Looking around the league, Wells is 8th in ERA among starters who've made at least 10 starts, and 5 of the 7 pitchers in front of him on that list have been promoted.

I'd like to see him get a shot in Frederick, but I understand why.

The pitchers that got promoted, I wondered what their innings looked like last year.

45-75.    The two guys who haven't been promoted pitched a little less.   Wells is the youngest of the 8, by about 7 months.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By ChuckS · Posted

      A few of them are comparable. I rather have Kirby, Singer, Ober, or a healthy Rodon, as my number 3 over Kremer.  I don't have a problem with Kremer as my number four, but i'd like another pitcher who can regularly shut down an offense in the top 3.  I also look at the FA deadline as perhaps the best opportunity to add a guy who can replace some of Burnes production when he likely he leaves after the season.  I would be floating Kjerstad for a pitcher like that.

      I don't consider Gil their ace.  He is a rookie with decent stuff but I think he massively regresses before the end of the year.  I do not expect him to get a playoff start ahead of Cole, Stroman, Cortes or even Rodon by the end of the year.  To say they are all better than the Orioles top three is insane to me.  Burnes is better than every pitcher on that list with the possible exception of a healthy Cole which he may not be all of this year.  His situation feels similar to Bradish to me.  Rodriguez is better than all but a handful of the guys on that list.  I think we have 2 of the top 7-10 pitcher in the AL but you think we have a worse rotation than any of the likely AL playoff teams.  That is crazy talk to me.

      Right.  That’s the problem and why they keep going to Cano.  We were thin before we lost Coulombe.

      Eddie and Cal were not as athletic. Gunnar’s athletecism is why I compare him to Alomar and Brady.

      I don't think this is an all-in year.  A lot can happen in a year.  This time last year, if someone on the board posted that in the upcoming offseason that we'd get Burnes for Joey Ortiz and DL Hall, they'd have been laughed out of the room.   So many things can happen in a year that people have no way of predicting or forecasting.  No one saw Ryan O'Hearn becoming one of our best hitters.  No one saw the leap Gunnar was going to make from last year to this year.  No one saw the player Westburg is becoming.   Yeah, we could lose Burnes and Santander but we could also gain your guy Coby Mayo and someone else through a trade.  Remember, Corbin Burnes wasn't on our radar at all last year. We've got a great, great core group of young players with more on the way.  We're set up for the next 5-10 years, easy.   If this were an aging, veteran team with a bunch of 30 somethings like the '96 and '97 teams, I'd agree.  Push all the chips to the middle of the table.  But this isn't that. I get that we're finally good, everyone's excited, everyone want to see this team win a World Series now, this year, because it's been so long since we have.  But it's also really important that we've got the opportunity to do it every year for the next 10 years, too.
