Welp, are we officially worried about Bundy?

[Enjoy Terror]

Not worried.

Drew Pomeranz should be worried, not Dylan Bundy.

Fastball today topped 91. Should be 92-93. Unclear if he's unleashed any breaking stuff yet. 

It is spring training. Spring. He is not looking to earn a job.

It would be nice if he made Buck's quote about taking "the best 12 pitchers" look like it meant anything. 

You always have to be earning the job.

Is that what Davis is doing right now?

[Frobby]

I wouldn’t say I’m worried.   But I’m wary.

I mean he's going to away games and he crushed a 3 run bomb. I don't see much wrong with his performance so far.

Especially in relation to the other hitters? I don't really understand your point. 

Dylan Bundy has a lot to prove. Is he healthy? Can he be a #1? Can he last a whole season without fizzling out? Going out there and "working on stuff" isn't really something I personally want to see out of the kid. Go out there and light em up, and then let Buck hide you in sim games for the rest of the season where you can tinker with things.

Chris Davis is 2-12 with 7 SO this spring training.

Eh, got a couple walks too. Got froze on a curve today and I'm not mad about that. I'm mad about taking a fastball down the gut, which he hasn't really done yet this spring to my knowledge. One the other day was very borderline.

If Davis hits a 3 run shot for every 7 K's and 12 ABs, I'll gladly take it.

Comparing Chris Davis to Dylan Bundy is kind of a silly exercise anyway.

I would only be worried if Bundy really couldn't throw harder than 91 MPH.

Silly to say something like " You always have to be earning the job.".  It isn't true.  You know it, I know it.  It's a silly exercise.

[oriole]

I'll be worried if he is this bad in his last couple ST starts but not really worried yet. 

[Aristotelian]

I remember when Ubaldo started spring 2014 like that. Everyone said don't worry, it's spring and he's a veteran.

I think if you're a young pitcher, you should always be trying to earn your spot. What's wrong with that? I know it's not exactly realistic. But if I'm Dylan Bundy, I would want to impress, not tinker. Don't let anyone question you, not when you haven't carved out a real spot for yourself in the big leagues yet. 

Unlike Davis, you can't find any silver linings in these Bundy stats. Davis at least has a .833 OPS.
