On the bright side, hip surgery doesn't sound at all serious for a pitcher.  I'm sure the O's will be able to trade him for a haul in 2020.

Note to mods, it appears wildcard has hacked CoC's account

I think CoC was being sarcastic in the 2nd half of that comment.

Just think if he went to the minors and used minor league balls last year.Would not have happened. Curse of having smaller balls.

So he doesn't have the stones to pitch for the Orioles?

I was surprised when they signed him because I noticed that for the last year or so  before they got him, he seemed to be on a downward plane.  I thought he was a real good pitcher for several years but then I detected a pitcher who in my opinion,  even before the Orioles got him,  had peaked. I am not going on hard cold stats,  as I do not know what they show,  but what seemed to me to be a pitcher who was not the pitcher he once was. Maybe the injury was mostly the cause of it. Hopefully,  anyway.

You're on this like corn on the... plate.

Was he already on the 60 day IL?

Well at least we have Chandler Shepherd...Whatever his name is, or somebody else, anybody else,, whoever.

And here I thought we were going to win mid to upper 60s… I’m very glad I’m not a betting man.

Definitely going to be a record setting season.

A player has to miss the entire season for insurance to kick in.

Obviously, it depends what the specific policy says.   I’ve heard of different policies having different thresholds.

Interesting, I haven't.

I've heard of policies where a specific amount of time has to pass before the insurance company starts paying out. If the player then comes off the IL, the insurance stops and the waiting period begins again if they go back on the IL. One article I saw said that policies for pitchers are 2-3 times more than for position players.
