Well finally an offseason where every other team is on our speed. Except for the the Marlins giving players away.

Its been a slow offseason around here. All that could change real fast if we scramble to sign Cobb, Tillman, and another team less vet. Plus a guy like Dyson or Jay.

Even with the slow off season, no way Cobb goes for 4/52. If so, grab him now. I would be actually be happy with Bundy, Gausman, Cobb and a cast of Tillman, Wright Cortes, Asher....I just think we need at least one more consistent, capable 3-4 starter to band aid this rotation together...

I'm just repeating what one Oriole insider told me this week. It's from someone who knows, and it's not Jim Palmer. They said that Harvey could conceivably be pitching for the Orioles by June of next year ........ IF he gets enough innings at AA-Bowie ........

Roy Firestone stated that  he was told by an Orioles insider that there is an outside chance that Harvey could start the season at AA-Bowie and be brought up to the Orioles in June IF he pitches very well there:

That's a very big "IF" ........ Harvey finished last season smoking hot, but it was a very small sample size AND it was at the levels of Advanced-Rookie League

Aberdeen and Regular-A Delmarva, which are 3 levels and 2 levels below AA-Bowie, respectively.

I suspect that the Orioles are breathing much easier in regard to the rate at which they feel compelled to try to bring Hunter Harvey along, now that they have signed BOTH Andrew Cashner AND Alex Cobb. 

 

Anything is possible, but I believe that they may be slightly less aggressive in regard to if and when they decide to promote him to the Major Leagues at some time during the 2018 season ........ whether it be June (which would be the absolute earliest time), July, August, or September.

Let's see how close this is.

At 4/52 he would have been a steal. At 4/57 he is still a really good bargain.

4/52 or 4/57 is really just splitting hairs, at this point.

[johnegogo]

Yes, and way below expected market value at the beginning of the off season. The deal includes deferred money in each year and we only have to surrender our third pick. I really like this move.

Was Cashner signed at the time of this post?

No, Cashner wasn't signed until a couple of weeks later....
