Bud Norris and Arodys Vizcaino?

[Machado13]

I apologize, it was not meant as an attack at all. The reason we can't get a top of the rotation starter is because no one, not even Dan Duquette, can put together a realistic package to get one without depleting the major league team. We simply do not have the horses in the minors to acquire a frontline starter.

No worries. I don't disagree with you. I guess bottom line is don't go out and get mediocre pitching. I would rather try Bundy or maybe Sedlock surprises.

Please no more Feldman type deals!

Would be nice if the Orioles got lucky on an acquisition. IMO they are a top of rotation starter away from really threatening for WS title.

Bundy is not even a blip on the consideration for rotation starter for 2016.

Thought it was hinted that he may be by year end?

[Ruzious]

Not in this system.

Your posts aren't making much sense. Yes, we need an explanation about his low SO number, but there's been a lot of positive talk about him, and anytime you have a lefty starter that throws as hard as he does and gets people out, you have a significant asset. One of the Boston Globe writers pointed him out as a player scouts were gushing over in ST.

I thought he might get a start or two, but, with the organization intent on limiting his innings, I am not sure, how he would actually become a rotation pitcher.

Feldman was a pitcher good enough to parlay into a 3 year 30 million dollar contract after Baltimore.

3 seasons removed from Baltimore, and he is still in the big leagues.

Not sure who's numbers your looking at, but it isn't Bud Norris. He has a 4.22 ERA and is averaging almost 8 K per. Tell me how that isn't better than Ubaldo/Wright?

Bud Norris 2016

10 starts, 5.02 ERA

12 relief appearances 1.96 ERA

Combined 4.22 ERA.

If the O's are looking at him as a starter the 5.02 ERA is more relevant.

Yeah I misread it. The Orioles have said they are looking for a LH SP. I guess we're looking at depleted the farm for guys like Rich Hill.

A Feldman type would be a good target. What Feldman did in 2013 would be gold for us now. I feel pretty confident that if we trade for such a pitcher, we will not trade away a future Cy Young Award winner to get him.

Good point.

Bud looks like he found it in June. If he keeps doing that in July he will be a good trade chip. Salary remaining about 1.25m. I am not sure what the O's would offer for him. There will probably be a lot of competition for him if he keeps pitching well.

Atlanta has been very focal about wanting high draft picks.
