Who gets DFA'd to make room for Rasmus, Gentry, Valencia and Joely?

Rickard.  If you add gentry then you dfa Rickard and he will pass through waivers.

Rickard already been sent to the minors.

Yes, but he hasn't been DFA'ed. I think that's the point.

I think he is depth at AAA, at this point

Araujo should be in our bullpen.   That guy's stuff is pretty darn good. 

I agree, especially when I believe Joely has options? I could be wrong about that.

I can see it now, Tillman early DFA  and ends up elsewhere and back to pitching well, then every single poster that wanted Tillman gone, will be complaining that the org cut him too soon.

I'm not exactly worried about that.  More likely is he struggles in April and most of May, gets banished to the 'pen, continues to struggle, and they finally cut bait with him somewhere around mid-season.  Then he goes unsigned for the remainder of the year, and likely for good.  Maybe if he's lucky he gets a MiL deal next spring.

Buck will put him in the pen but will barely use him in that role.  He will however get a couple spot starts.

Everyone seems awfully sure how Buck and the organization will deal with Tillman if he struggles.

Going off of prior behavior.  He pitched less than eight innings in relief last year.  Ubaldo was rarely used as a reliever when he was sent to the pen.

Yup, and Buck kept starting him after it was pretty obvious that he was not right.   I like that he is loyal, but that should only go so far.

I don't think Buck would go as far this year, but there's no way to know.

No.

Tillman has a guaranteed contract.

 

But none of us know what out clauses are in that contract.

I've never heard of a guaranteed contract that allowed the player to be cut for a portion of his guaranteed salary.

 

[wildcard]

Bundy, Gausman, Cashner, Wright, Cortes

Brach, Givens, O'Day, Bleier, Joely Rodriguez, Araujo, Castro

Tillman either DL'd or DFA'd.   

Even if Cobb is sign he will not be ready to start the season.

Why do you think it took the O's so long to sign Tillman? Maybe contract issues?

Why does it take so long for the O's to sign everybody?
