Dylan Bundy question

[Dark Helmet]

How does his contract work? I know he had to be in the majors last year. Is that still the case? Does he have to clear waivers to be optioned?

 

I only ask, because if he struggles as a SP sending him to the BP doesn't help his development. It sets him way back imo. 

I hope it's an issue we don't have to worry about, but he is still very inexperienced.

He signed a ML deal which meant he had to be put on the 40 man.

The O's asked for and received a fourth option year.

He is out of options.

Just like last year.

Except they need him in the rotation all year instead of half of it.

There is always the disabled list. I mean. If he's hurt. Again. There is no development. This is your guy.

He's developed enough, in my view.   Having seen him in action last year, I wouldn't start him in the minors this year even if I could.     Of course, it would be nice to have that alternative if he struggles.

Yeah, that's my fear. He's being expected to carry a heavier load in the rotation this year.

I agree. I wouldn't have him in the minors. I would just like to have options incase he struggles. But I don't think he has much to prove in the minors right now.
