So it almost the end of Spring Training and he isn't throwing off even a half mound yet.

Does he make his first start in May, June, or sometime after?

He was throwing off a full mound before his latest setback.   If he can get healthy this time, I don't think he's all the way back at square one.    You could still see him towards the end of April.    To me, the big issue is whether this shoulder problem can resolve itself or whether he's got a more serious problem than he or the team want to concede.

Chris Tillman threw today (Sunday) from 60-90 feet without any discomfort in his right shoulder. He’ll expand the distance on Tuesday, and continue to throw every other day as long as there are no setbacks.

Tillman will head north with the team instead of remaining back at extended spring training. Manager Buck Showalter wants him to be part of the opening day festivities, and it also gives the club a chance to monitor his bullpen sessions.

"Too early to know" = 99.9% chance he is done for the season?

 

[Bahama O's Fan]

I find it encouraging that he is going to Baltimore and not staying in extended Spring Training.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Either they think he will soon be ready or they are planning to shut him down altogether or they are taking him to see a doctor in Baltimore. If the last one were true, I would have thought he would have already been there, so I take it to be one of the two above.

No surprise, Gausman has been named OD starter.  Bundy game 2.

I wonder if Buck wants to bring up Aquino/Ynona/literally anyone to be the 5th starter

[Sanfran327]

Way to go, Rage Cage. Make it a good one.

[Spy Fox]

Hopefully the first of many Opening Day starts for Gausman.

Chris Tillman's schedule has been laid out for us.

Tillman will long toss on Thursday to his maximum comfort, and, assuming that his right shoulder feels good, he will have bullpen sessions on Saturday, Monday, and next Wednesday at Camden Yards. He’ll fly back to Sarasota and throw live batting practice on April 8th before pitching in his first game on April 11th at extended Spring Training.

Not surprising, I expect a bunch of 40-man movement and maybe a Worley minor league signing.

[sportsfan8703]

Seems like the OF picture has become clearer. No Bourn. Tavarez waived. Gentry on the team. Good to have Johnson back for AAA. Great depth down there this year. 

If we see a move it will be for a P.

5 Things to Watch this Orioles Season

(By Jeff Kryglik) 

http://www.abc2news.com/sports/5-things-to-watch-this-orioles-season

 

 

1) Will Chris Tillman's injury linger throughout the season ???

2) Do Gausman and Bundy finally live up to the hype ???

3) How will the Orioles use Wellington Castillo and Caleb Joseph as the club replaces Matt Wieters ???

4) How far can living and dying by the home run carry the Birds ???

5) Will the bullpen last another potential post-season run ???
