I like the perspective. I got a chance to watch Aquino in the minors a few times last year. He looks better this spring.

A day later.

Quote

Aquino allowed one hit over 2 1/3 scoreless innings in his three appearances with the Orioles in 2016. He made 19 starts among his 20 appearances at Double-A Bowie and pitched in relief in five games at Triple-A Norfolk, going a combined 7-10 with a 3.72 ERA in 128 1/3 innings.

His bullpen days may be nearing an end. Showalter said Aquino will be in someone’s rotation this summer.

“Whatever role they decide for me, I’m more than happy to go ahead and do it,” he said. “I feel confident that I can do the job as a starter, so I’m looking forward to that opportunity.”

He should be looking forward to staying in one place. Aquino was traded by the Rockies in February 2015, had his contract purchased by the Pirates three months later, had his contract purchased by the Indians in July and was selected off waivers by the Cardinals in December.

There is a lot of competition for that spot. It would take a very strong spring imo.

Edit - I see weams beat me to it, but I don't seem to have the option to delete my post.

I had the same issue, the ability is still there it is just hidden.  Look under options.

I think we'll see them get rotated around like last year.

Well, sounds like the Orioles are definitely planning on keeping him a starter. with the jump in stuff, why not? He was 92-93 last year in his bullpen spots but sits comfortably in the low 90s when he starts. My only concern is i didn't see a ton of movement from his fastball, but I only saw him for those two innings. It's nice to hear he's doing well. the Orioles could use some rotation depth and if he can end up like Wei-Yin Chen for a few seasons that would be great.

The beat writers were talking about the development of that breaking ball early in camp. Seems to be translating early on.

I'd like to see how his stuff plays against major league lineups. I know the Phillies had some of their guys there today, but I'm still not in love with his breaking stuff. I really like that changeup though.

I would trust Roch. 1 run over 6 is a 1.50 ERA. ESPN can't even do arithmetic right.

Oh, that was my mistake. It was a typo. It was 1 run over 3 innings that ESPN was claiming. I fixed it in my post. 

Still, according to ESPN, that would mean that yesterday's game was the only one that he has pitched so far in Spring Training.

I watched the game on replay and he looked sharp.  Had a good breaking ball.  Fastball sat around 90 mph.

Orioles.com has him at 7 IP in their spring training stats.
