Very true. 

Here's a medical article about the condition, for anyone interested.  Seems like there are two different types, degenerative and reactive.  I'm not sure what Bundy had/has.

Neither look very good. But one has at least a mystery re-absorption possibility.

Looking at the MLB transactions page I think the Orioles have a plan and an answer.

Look at these important Orioles moves made on December 14th:

Baltimore Orioles claimed RHP Pedro Araujo off waivers from Myrtle Beach Pelicans.

Baltimore Orioles signed free agent RHP Michael Kelly.

Baltimore Orioles claimed LHP Nestor Cortes off waivers from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

O's to the World Series.  At this point you can only laugh. 

I said this was a possibility the day of the draft. And you left out Jose Mesa.

Don’t laugh, the Orioles are just cheap enough to actually do it.

Not making it up, just stating that health is relative for a pitcher. Bundy may or may not be healthy. Gausman too. 

I worry more about Bundy, due to his track record.   All pitchers are injury risks.

Orioles pitching prospects by season.

Anyone notable missing on that list, from 1990?   Goes to show these guys don’t always know what they’re doing.

Just someone who might get voted into the HOF next month.  Other than that, no.

Arthur Rhodes was the # 6 ranked prospect in baseball in 1991 by Baseball America.  

Mussina was # 19.  

We had some uber-prospects in the early 90's:  McDonald, Mussina, Rhodes, Hammonds, Pennington (lol). All ranked in the top 20 by Baseball America at some point.

Schilling was not that highly rated at that point. But point taken.

Im thinking more recently...did we have anyone who won one of those Cy Young thingees?  Jim Arrington?  Jake Arrington?  Jake Arrieta!!!  That's the one.

Never rated that highly. Prospects. All about the top prospects.

Tillman, Matusz, and Arrieta were ranked 2-4, in that order, in 2009 by Baseball America.  Minor League Ball had them in the same order, all with B+ grades.

Ahhhhh....it doesn't matter.  They all break.   But still. Somebody missed on Jake.

Oh certainly. Never denied that. But the list of who we thought was our top guy is not too far off.
