If Smith goes to the DL, who is called up?

[wildcard]

I see two possibilities:

1) Wilson is recalled until Rickard is ready.

2) Mullins is called up until Rickard is ready.  Santander goes on the 60 day DL.

Verrett could also be on the bubble for DFA if they don't want to put Santander on the 60 day DL.  

What is your guess?

Joey - to be used as a pinch-runner until his hand is well enough for him to hit, which should be a few days.

I don't see them putting Mullins on the 40 man.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Bring up a pitcher. We always need pitchers. We don't need anymore OF's right now.

It would be insane to do that right now.

Why?

I am not saying they will but I don't see it as insane.   He is a good defensive outfielder with speed on the bases which is how he would be used.  His service clock only moves when he  is in  the majors which would be about 5 days or so.  He has three options and the way he has played it does not seem like it will take him 3 years of minor league play for him to develop.  He is obviously not intimidated by major leaguers from what we saw in ST.

I don't see the insanity of bringing him to the majors if he is the best stop gap fit.

It could be like Borbon last year. We could call up a bet like Dickerson/Schafer/Urrutia for a few days and then just DFA them. If we lose them then no big deal.

When he is brought up, it will be to stay.  Also Buck seems to like to parlay ALL three of the Options to the best of the teams advantage so why use them for a Stop Gap.

That approach may work.  Dickerson would be the best fit for that.

You mean stay like Gausman did?  Gausman was yo-yoed for years by Buck and Dan.  I don't think what you are saying lines up with what the O's do.   If they feel he is the best fit they will bring him up of 5 days and then option him back.

I really like what Dickerson could bring to this team.  It's just he's LH.  Same with Bourn, once he's ready.  

[DirtyBird]

I really don't feel like seeing any more of Tyler Wilson.

The guy has played 14 games above low A.    He got off to a great start -- good for him -- but there's a very good chance that he's 2-3 years away from being able to hit major league pitching.   I don't want to start burning his options now based on 14 games in AA.

So is Smith who's place he would be taking.

Really?  He is in AA and he think it will take 3 years for him to get to the majors?  Well he has three options so they would not be used up until 2020.
