Each contending team will determine what pitching well means.

It is way, way too early to guess what the market for any of our players will be in July.    It depends on how our players are doing, what contending teams need at the time, and which players other teams have available.    And I especially think it’s way premature to judge how any of our players will do this year based on how they’ve done in 16 games or 3-4 starts.

So what do you want to talk about?  The weather?   It depends on how pitchers pitch between now and  July.  Everyone knows that.   This is O's Talk.  If you can find something better to talk about I will be glad to join in.  But right now we are on page 5 of a thread that was started 3 hours ago.

Dude, just stop being levelheaded and reasonable.

Good grief!!  How did this thread turn into a pi**ing contest about Cashner?  

I predicted 60-65 wins this season and that's being very optimistic.

We'd win more if we didn't have Cashner.

Then Mike Wright could start.

Toss up, IMO.  Both suck.

Cashner is much better.

You're right but my IWOG rate (Interest in Watching an Orioles Game, for those unfamiliar with the new analytic I just created) drops about 50% when I see either one of them on the mound.  So in my eyes, equals.

Nothing to do with Cashner (sorry) but I think one thing that the O's can do to make things a little better is to not bat Davis, Mullins and Martin in the same group.  Three automatic outs in a row is difficult to watch.

Really it’s 4 automatic outs in a row when you include Sucre.

I think there’s very little argument that the large contracts we have given to pitchers in the last few years have been poorly thought out with negative results,  and one of the reactions that was common regarding all of them out was, “what were the Orioles thinking?“

 I don’t think anyone will be clamoring for any of our starters, although I think they will be at least mildly interested in a few of our relievers, and as far as I’m concerned I would listen on anybody. 

Not sure how much the phone will ring, though.
