Someone else mentioned it in another thread but he’s in direct competition with Donnie Hart in ST.

It's possible he'll be in competition, but with Bleier, Hart, and Tanner Scott already on the 40 man roster, he's surely quite the longshot.  He also hasn't thrown a competitive pitch since TJS so that's a big unknown as well.

Speaking of Tanner Scott, his AFL numbers would lead me to believe he is not at all well. 

Last 4 games (of 5):

10/20 - Started, 2IP, 3ER, 2BB/2K

10/28 - Started, 3IP, 3ER, 3/1

11/9 - Relief, 1IP, 2ER, 3/2

11/11 - Relief, 1.1IP, 5ER, 2/0

He just got worse with each game. I’m not a scout or anything but injured pitchers pitch lines like that all the time.

I only saw him in the fall stars game, where he had the best performance of any pitcher in the game.  I unfortunately didn't get to watch any of the other games.

It could be injury, his last appearance, the velocity was way down.  It could just be a dead arm, he threw the most innings of his career and that doesn't count the additional bullpen sessions between each start.  I'm not going to try and speculate, we'll just have to wait and see.

Hopefully there isn't flashbacks to the way Chris Tillman was handled last year into this year...

Per Roch, the following were signed to minor league deals:

C Armando Araiza, RHP Ralston Cash, LHP Josh Edgin, RHP Jeff Ferrell,  RHP Jhan Mariñez, INF Angelo Mora,  C Yojhan Quevedo,  1B Ryan Ripken, LHP Joely Rodriguez, INF Garabez Rosa, INF Erick  Salcedo, and INF Rubén Tejada

Araiza was in Frederick (along with small stints in Bowie and Norfolk), Rosa was in Bowie (and won Eastern League MVP), Ripken played at Aberdeen, Salcedo was at Bowie, and Tejada was in Norfolk with some Baltimore time.

The rest are depth from other organizations. Most of the pitchers will probably end up at Norfolk. Quevedo might end up in Delmarva. Mora could take a spot in Norfolk, or be in Bowie.

    • These (insert what you want to) don’t lose either. If we weren’t 3-1 against them they’d be in first place. This is our real worry. Not the little stuff we stress over here. They have a Soto plus their bullpen didn’t lose a step after that trade.  Plus, they’re doing this without Cole. Bats are the easiest thing to buy at the deadline too.  If we’re on pace to win 107, they’re right there behind us. It’s probably Gunnar vs Soto for MVP. 
    • We will see Zac Gallen, who shouldered a tremendous load last season - 3250 regular season and 550 postseason pitches. Ketel Marte and Christian Walker are having big years, but no one in the lineup is really hot now.    Joc Pederson is a Ryan O'Hearn menace to RHP but we'll have both our LHP, and they have Randal Grichuk as a reserve.    Corbin Carroll's slow start is one of the most peculiar this side of Julio Rodriguez but of course he could explode anytime.    Bobby Witt kind of blew the contract benchmarks out of the water for great young players. Closer Paul Sewald has thrown 2 out of 3 days, and their 7th/8th inning guys both threw Wednesday/Thursday as they won a pair of 1-run games in Cincinnati to finish a road sweep. One of the riskiest things Elias has done is deem Adley, Gunnar and Grayson not strong enough to really try in 2022.    He had good judgment going to Texas, and I hope somebody's memoir some day gives a good account of that day.     All the good vibes now how they are fearless and confident - they were that way in 2022 as well.    What's incorrect in these power rankings: 1. 2024 Orioles 2. 2023 Orioles 3. 2022 Orioles 4. 2023 Diamondbacks, NL champions Yennier Cano and others will help now and in the future, but in fall 2022 Adley, Gunnar, Grayson, Kyle Bradish and Felix Bautista were all healthy and there's no guarantee that will recur any other year.
    • These. He's gonna be on a short leash, but he's gonna keep going out there until we're not on the 107 W tract anymore.  He got two outs quick then grooved one that got crushed.  When that happens, they hook needs to be quick.  You can almost see him aiming pitches after a deflating hit or walk.  He doesn't look "natural" after that. Who takes his place?  Dunno.  What to do with him?  Dunno.  A pothole is likely in his future if he doesn't right himself, tho.
    • I suggested that ages ago to help mitigate arbitration raises for closers.
    • The hardest thing about the June run will be we don’t have much flexibility in the pen. We will need to utilize Tate and Vespi more than likely. Hyde has plenty flexibility in the lineup. 
    • FYI it's Kremer, not Kramer. I think Krispy Kremer cause it's like the donut.
    • Kinda odd that every team in the AL has played more games than us and the Yankees have actually played 3 more.  I don’t know if the Braves have had any rainouts but they’ve actually played 2 games LESS than us. Bizarre scheduling thus far.
