I don't want to see Cobb again till this dude is 100%

Agree.   Wasted salary unless he can find his form and become valuable in a trade.   Hope he takes his time and gets healthy.

Well Cobb has taken his time the past 14 months with the Orioles. Why hurry up things now.

I know Dempsey had said pregame that Cobb need to bend more in his delivery to get the ball to sink and move.  If his back is an issue and he cannot bend than that may explain why his ball stays middle/up and gets hammered.

Lot of difference between a straight FB from a guy who throws 97 mph and from say, Dylan Bundy at 92.

A straight FB at 97 MPH sounds just like Mike Wright.

Miss a weekend of baseball of the Orioles this year and 1/5 of the roster is different when you come back.

The sad thing is that this is not rock bottom, but we’re getting pretty darn close. Once we trade Givens and Villar, we are who we are, until we start competing again. However long that takes.

LOL

Maybe that OP was wrong.

The Orioles made a flurry of moves after another crushing defeat by the Twins yesterday.

Moves:
DFA Catcher Jesus Sucre and promote Austin Wynns: Now that Wynns is healthy, this makes sense. Sucre just can't hit major league pitcher and his defense while good, was not a difference maker. Wynns is solid defensively and the best hitter of the options.

Demote Jimmy Yacobonis
Place Alex Cobb on IL
Promote Luis Ortiz and Brandon Kline from Norfolk

Analysis: Neither Ortiz or Kline have thrown the ball well this year but both are healthy and able to take some innings. Yacobonis' command has been pretty bad and after throwing BP to the Twins yesterday, it was probably time to give him some more AAA time. It was Ortiz's turn to pitch and with Bundy on the mound against the Twins, they might need some length in the pen.

Sucre being DFAed does that mean he is being sent to the minors or released? I get confused about that.

Me too, down at Lake Anna. Lot of catching up to do this morning. I like Seve, ditching Sucre seems to be a good move.

Released. I believe they have 10 days to try to trade him and get something for him... maybe cash considerations? But he's definitely gone.

Designated for Assignment. If no other team wants him, and he is willing to goto AAA, they can then assignment, if not he becomes a FA.

I believe he could accept a minor league deal and end back up at AAA for the Orioles.

Oh I see. Thank you. BTW. How did your Redskins do in the NFL Draft?

I forgot he was on a minor league deal.

I thought Chris Davis had his own thread.
