He has Bleier and Fry ahead of him and he needs to work on his command and control.  I think he does that in the minors and gets called up later.  That is my guess,

How long does he work on stuff before we accept that he is what he is?

By what he is, you mean the 4th best pitcher on the team by FIP and the best pitcher on the team by xFIP?

Also, as to the how long part, he could take another 4 whole years and still be younger than when Bleier made his MLB debut.

I would think Elias & company will see if new (different) coaching and analytics can help him better harness his talent.

Shultz?

Schultz was cut in the 2nd round.

With a k/9 of 9.49 and bb/9 of 1.46 both of which are among the best in the team especially among guys that have thrown as many innings. Even though he’s giving up a high number of  homeruns 5 Yefry  Ramirez should stick. If Hess is still competing for a spot in the rotation so should Ramirez. He’s looked better than Hess this spring.

That’s sad, because he’s bad. If He is really the fourth best pitcher on this team, it doesn’t mean he’s good, but everyone else is really terrible. Because he’s not good. He can throw hard but that’s all.

well, no, he’s not bad, he’s just horribly inconsistent, and an undependable reliever is not an asset.

He's good enough for this team.

I think his slider had one of the highest whiff rates in the majors, not sure how that’s “throws hard but that’s all”.

I just think it’s wild that the Orioles had a rookie reliever with a top 20 K rate in baseball and people aren’t excited about him.

Haven't seen Diaz the last few games. Is he still with the ML camp?

IMO Hess hurt is chances to make the rotation yesterday.

I'm excited about Diaz and Scott.   That doesn't mean they are ready for the majors.

Diaz was putting up fairly good numbers at the plate...

.333

.324

.515

.839

But we have other outfielders hitting better.

The outoutfield is rather amazing to me.  None of the candidates have fallen off.  And the battle between Jace and drew is real too.

Drew has an advantage.  He is on the 40 man roster.  Peterson is not.
