The Orioles have considered bringing Clevenger back. 

Wouldn't be a bad PR move to wait until the WBC has started and guys like Jones can avoid questions about it.

VIDAL VICENTE NUNO o)o (vs, D-RAYS, 3/04)o[Spring Training]

 

Nunez pitched 2 shutout innings, recording all 6 outs via the groundout and the strikeout ......... 4 Groundouts (Including 1 Double Play), 1 Strikeout.

After a 1-2-3 4th inning, he allowed a one-out single in the 5th. That runner was erased via a double play to end the inning.

One reason I'm hoping Nuno makes the team is that he's like the 5th-fastest worker in the major leagues.    I love pitchers who don't screw around.

Nope.  I've been pulling for Drake but this spring he has not shown much at all.  I think he is out of options so I think he starts the season with the Os but if he continues to struggle he will be on a short leash.

I like Drake, but I just don't see him being a solid option on the big club

Well maybe 

[Rene88]

Our starting depth is laughable, not sure why the O's are sitting on their hands. I like nobody in this group. Wright is probably best option and he's awful too.

Drake is all but DFA-ed.

Nuno def hurt his cause. Not surprising, but definitely disappointing.

I don't want to see Clevenger anywhere near this team. I'll write letters if he is signed. My friend knows his family too, but his comments are ignorant and not something one changes their minds about overnight. With the current political climate, shocked he hasn't been signed by someone in a deep red state though.

Would be even better as a non-move

Should be going after Fister IMO... durable and will give you innings.

Nah. DFA him after ST. Better chance of getting through waivers

From what I have read previously it sounded like he was going to make the OD roster bc he was out of options.  Who knows... I wouldnt lose any sleep over it.
