There's no certainty that either one ever plays a game for the Orioles. We don't have any idea whether Sedlock's stuff will play well as he moves up through the minors or whether he'll have health issues along the way. We don't know when Harvey will pitch again, how long it will take him to recover effectiveness, or whether he'll experience yet further injuries.

Saying all that, I don't think either is likely to be in Baltimore before late 2018 at the earliest, and some time in 2019 is more likely for both. I'll say Sedlock gets there first but Harvey turns out to be the better pitcher.

For a regular season game. I'll go with Sedlock. With the reviews he's getting, a 2017 September call-up doesn't seem too far fetched.

Pretty unlikely. I'm sure if you looked at all college pitchers drafted in the first round, you'd find it was a very small percentage that got called up the year after they were drafted. Matusz did, but he was a no. 4 overall pick who was just toying with hitters in the minors. Bundy did it as a high school draftee, but well, he's Bundy (and also a 1:4 in an exceptionally strong draft class).

While he wasn't a 1st rounder, I think Jake Arrieta's flight path is more normal. Pitched a full year in the Carolina League (where he was pitcher of the year), split a season between Bowie and Norfolk, then put in another half-season at Norfolk before his call-up.

Stotle posted that his colleagues in the scouting community have told him Sedlock could come up and help the team now.

Three guys in 2014 first round made their debuts before 2016. Finnegan, Nola, and Rodon. If I counted correctly, that's 3 out of 10. Certainly not rare.

I must have missed the report that Sedlock is a great prospect. Glad if that's the case. I think Harvey is going to have a meteoric rise once he starts pitching again. He's closer to Bundy's upside than Gausman's, IMO. Just have to be patient on his health.

Sedlock is a 21 year old that is pitching OK in rookie ball. Why is this even a poll? Maybe wait until Sedlock has some actual success in the minors before getting excited over him.

Well why wait to have this poll when it would be more obvious? Given Harvey's injury history, it's a fair question.

Well why choose Sedlock. Harvey dominated at Aberdeen at 18. Sedlock is mediocre at 21. Don't get it.

If things go well with Sedlock he should be appearing on the big league team sometime in 2018.

Considering Harvey will just be getting his feet wet again in A ball in 2018 and will be on an innings limit, Sedlock is the safer bet.

      I need to be a better fan

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.

      Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.

      Not fired up, per se, but engaged in the ramp-up to playoff baseball. On one hand, it's like the spring training phase of gearing up for playoffs. On the other hand, it's like the playoffs have already begun. We're qualified for round 1, which consists of the next 6 games. Even watching the other teams play now is entertaining, as they jostle for entry to the next round.

      I really think that Westburg is the difference maker for us. I don't know why, but the offense just doesn't run right without him... like an engine that needs a tune up. I'm glad he's back with a week to go in the regular season.

      Don't be too hard on yourself OP. We've all been there. For me, I usually hit a frustration point mid-late season and then start to just accept things. Baseball is a very weird, very inscrutable game sometimes. I've driven myself a bit nuts this season with the Adley thing because it's one of those baseball things that just doesn't make a lot of sense. Same with the pitching injuries.  Each season is a little narrative. This one will be the year we had a bunch of injuries, the year of the RISP regression, the year of the rookie struggles, the year of the questionable Elias trades, the year we couldn't follow up on the 100-win season, etc. And yet - it will be a playoff year. And that's the only goal of every regular season: make the playoffs. Hopefully our playoff narrative will change this time around.
