Why do people on this thread not like Sedlock? From what I've heard, he's really good.

He's pitched well enough. But putting up a 3 ERA in the NY Penn League isn't going to turn many heads considering the league ERA isn't much higher. Batters are hitting .161 off him. I think he's been pretty good.

It's too small of sample size to really be able to make any judgments on him. We'll see what he can really do next year.

We haven't seen enough to know how good he could be. He's been solid enough in 3 inning stints at Aberdeen, but it's not like he's blowing people away there. I don't think we'll have a really good sense of him until next season.

Gotcha. His numbers in college looked amazing, which is why we picked him. Hope he works out

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

Harvey may have the higher ceiling, but the question was who will be in an Orioles uniform first. I'm not sure talent level of the two will decide that. Sedlock may have an injury too one day that sidetracks his career. But right now, Harvey has been on injury after another. Maybe other injuries occurred because he was pitching with arm pain. I hope they both make it and help the Orioles one day.

I plead no confidence with Harvey. I think he will ever make it, honestly.

I'm going to say Sedlock. Harvey is going to need at least a year to a year and half before he's back on a mound. That puts him as a possible candidate in 2018 sometime. Maybe a 2018 September call up...but very doubtful anywhere near the rotation to start the season.

Sedlock has a shot at being a September callup in 2017. If not, in 2018 the Orioles rotation will have the following gone: Tillman and Ubaldo. Miley and Gallardo both option 2018 options.

Unless you think the O's resign Tillman (I hope they do), then Sedlock has a golden opportunity to crack the 2018 rotation if he's healthy and effective in 2017. There really aren't many options in the minors.

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.

The Orioles also wasn't in 1st place in a playoff race, either, they didn't have anything to lose.

This board sure is fickle. First it was Bundy future hall of famer, then it was trade Bundy for a box of balls. And now it is Bundy is a number one started. Same pattern with Harvey. You would think people would learn a lesson.

I don't blame people at all for being skeptical. At least Bundy made a pit stop a few years ago on the MLB level. Harvey, conversely, hasn't found the track for various reasons.

Skeptical about Harvey? Why aren't people skeptical about a 21 year old who is having average success in a rookie league? Most of the guys he is facing won't even make it to double A. 5 guys have started at least 5 games for Aberdeen this year. Sedlock has the 4th best ERA of those 5 guys.

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah both Burnes and Hyde said after the game it's because Burnes is going on regular rest to start the first WC game and so he was shortened up a bit.

      You seem to pine for guys in AAA and then (with one notable exception) judge them very harshly if they don’t perform well instantly in the majors.  This is not the time to start experimenting with Young, and that’s no reflection on him at all IMO.

      I agree with the part about Elias. He needs to operate with a little more humility (regarding his bullpen approach) and pivot in the offense regarding how he puts a pen together. He needs to get away from the arrogant thinking in believing that we are always "the smartest guys in the room" and can fix other teams junk/unwanted parts. That is fine to do some time (regardless of how much you spend). But you can't construct an entire pen made of castoffs and almost no guys with elite/power/strikeout stuff. Yes it worked great with Felix, Perez/Lopez in 22', Cano in 23'. But the problem is that we are in '24. And some of those lightening in the bottle guys have reverted back to what their talent says that they are - mediocre. We have a pen full of decent/league average/mediocre arms. That's not what you really want heading into October.

      Also, since there’s another interesting discussion going on here, I think it’s time for Hyde to have an uncomfortable conversation with Adley. I hate everything I’m about to say, because Adley is my favorite Oriole. But we have to acknowledge where we are.  Over the last few months, the only sensible approach with Adley — other than the IL, which apparently he hasn’t been eligible for — has been to keep penciling him into the lineup almost everyday and hoping he figures it out. He has a track record of consistent lifelong excellence, so it’s felt like just a matter of time before he busts the slump and rights the ship.  But he hasn’t. Adley’s line over the last 3 months, almost half a season now, is so bad that it requires a double check to be sure it’s right: .186 / .274 / .278 / .552. A 61 wRC+. And -0.2 fWAR. He has been a below replacement player for 3 months now. He has been the 3rd-worst qualified hitter in baseball over that span, and the 7th-worst overall qualified player. The “qualified” part does make it a little misleading — most of the guys who’ve been this bad have long since been benched. I think you have to consider McCann, at least in Burnes’s starts. He’s been hitting a bit (114 wRC+ since the ASB), and even if he wasn’t on a bit of a heater, his normal baseline is still better than a .552 OPS. If you do continue to play him full-time, you just can’t treat him like he’s *Adley* anymore. You have to treat him like the bad backup catcher he’s been. He has to hit at the bottom of the order. The very bottom. There’s really no reasoned basis upon which you could want to have him get more ABs than guys like Mullins or Urias right now. And you have to PH for him liberally — whichever of Kjerstad/O’Hearn doesn’t start should be looking at Adley’s slot as their most likely opportunity.  As I said, I love Adley. It’s been brutal watching him. But there are 25 other guys on the team who deserve the best shot to win a ring. And that means you can’t just keep stubbornly handing all the ABs to a guy who is desperately lost, on the blind hope that he’ll suddenly find it.

      I didn’t post it in the game thread no, but I’m also not looking for credit. I thought it was a bad move at the time to remove Burnes in the first place, and choosing Cano at that point after he’d been bombed by those exact hitters, felt odd and off to me. The only real defense I could come up with was who if not Cano?  But taking Burnes out is essentially admitting that winning that night wasnt your top priority anyway, so why not also rest Cano, who you absolutely need in the playoffs and has pitched a lot?  I just didn’t get it in real time, and I still don’t.

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?
