I wonder if he'll pitch for the GCL O's or just in extended ST?

Now with O'Day coming back I really don't care what they do with Bundy.

If they keep him in the pen we will have hands down the most dominant BP in the game with not 1....2....3...but FOUR guys who have completely dominant stuff and are lights out.

If they try to give him a spot start here or there he helps the starting pitching, and we STILL have a fairly dominant pen with 3 elite guys.

Win win obv.

Play it by ear, try to keep Bundy in pen as long as possible. Deal with the starters and wing it for a while, at least til end of summer. I want Bundy locked and loaded for the playoffs, O'Day can help get that done.

I think this has been the real difference in the decline recently. We had bad starting pitching, but a lights out pen. If a starter gave up five runs in five or six innings and was pulled, the pen was holding before and giving the offense a chance. Now, they look overworked and are giving up a few runs of their own. If O'Day was there, we hold up better.

All star break and a fresh Oday. Are just the remedy.

Should we package O'Day in a package for a starter?

[Here!]

No. Please no...

The last few weeks without him have been painful.

Having said that, I don't have a better idea about how to beef up the starters.

I don't think the current market is too hot for an injured 33-year-old reliever with $25 million left on his contract. Even if he recuperates perfectly, the teams that are looking for veteran set-up men aren't generally offering veteran starters.

I appreciate that these are just conversation starters, but the Orioles are not trading from their team to make a run. They are trading from their minors. Or pitchers with 2016 limitations.

NEW YORK—Darren O’Day threw 25 pitches in his simulated game on Tuesday, and if there are no ill effects, he’ll go to Bowie on Friday to pitch against Erie.

Manager Buck Showalter said that O’Day, who threw two innings, could be activated on Sunday or Monday.

O’Day has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 3 with a strained right hamstring.

“That was encouraging,” Showalter said of the simulated game.

“Take tomorrow off and then do a lot of conditioning. Thought he got a little winded at the end. Not winded, but kind of, a little spent toward the end. We did a 15-pitch and he stopped for a little while and then did another 10 pitches.”

Showalter isn’t concerned that O’Day would need more than one outing.

“If it was a guy who was going to be asked to pitch four or five, three innings even, yeah, but Darren’s a guy who knows … I’ll tell you, he’s been real crisp in his side sessions. It may bode well for him the rest of the way because you can tell his arm’s pretty fresh,” Showalter said.

“He’ll be about as good as any trade you could make getting him back. I think the sim game we count. He’s had a lot of side sessions. If it was somebody else, you’d probably think about it. It’s not as if he’s going to walk in and you’re going to stick him in the eighth or ninth inning right out of the chute. He’ll have to work his way back into the role that we’re accustomed to him having.”

Encouraging news for sure

[sportsfan8703]

Got the feeling with Hart throwing three games in a row that we're trying to milk him for innings to make a move. Hopefully that's for O'day.

Haven't really heard to much about him since he went on the DL with the shoulder injury. Here is the latest on rotoworld,

O'Day was given a cortisone shot in hopes that it will help alleviate some rotator cuff soreness, but it apparently didn't work. The reliever is eligible for a return on August 27, but he's not going to be ready then. Aug 19 - 3:49 PM

Does he pitch for us again this season?
