I am glad that Kevin did not have to fly to Arizona. That would have been absolutely ridiculous. This is a huge year for Kevin. He needs to have a career year. The Orioles are counting on him big time. I don't want to see him on the team next year if he has a bad year this year.

Good.

A rotation of Bundy, Gausman, Harvey, Sedlock, Hall is possible in 2019 and 2020. Exciting future there.

Excellent.  Hopefully he can handle 600 innings this year.

Naa.  He only has to go 450 IP.   Bundy has the other 450.

Hall’s not that likely to make it to the majors that quickly.    Sedlock has to get his act together this year if he wants to be in our plans in those years.   By all rights, he should be repeating at Frederick this season, though I won’t be surprised if the O’s try to push him to AA.

So true and sad at the same time.

Really a team that got nothing from Jake Arietta, turned Matusz and Britton into relievers... and you really think Harvey, Sedlock and Hall are going to fill out the O's rotation.

Harvey has pitched what 30 innings in 3 years, Sedlock couldn't get anyone out at A ball and they are the future?
