Where will our recently acquired pitchers be placed next year?

Here’s my guess:

Mattson: Norfolk

Bradish: Bowie

Lucas: Delmarva

Peek: Delmarva

Brnovich: Aberdeen

Seems to me our Delmarva staff could be very crowded.     

Brnovich is more advanced than Bradish in terms of development/pitchability. He's going to start at least as high as Peek and Lucas. He could move very quickly if put in the pen.

How are we making room for all these pitchers?  

There will be more cuts coming, and when there isn't room teams can keep players in Extended Spring Training to get them into playing shape. Lots of ways to keep players around if they want them. There are a lot of players that won't sniff the majors and are basically expendable.

Would you guess the O's would want to see him/them pitch for a few months before moving to the pen or do you think its already clear?

I think they are going to have a six man rotation and probably some piggybacks, so not a true starter’s workload, but something like Fenter in 2019.

    • I’d go even farther. I’m not trading any of top 4 prospects including Kjerstad. I would not trade Cowser as well. We still have a large amount of depth in the system. A trade example would be Stowers, Norby, Liranzo, Forret, Elvin Garcia. That is plenty to get a number 2/3 starter. 
    • Ugh I hope not. Please move on from players that were brought in originally to tank     unless you do this to replace Mcdermott at AAA
    • Here’s another list from “the other guys”. It doesn’t appear Holliday is eligible here, just an FYI: Os have 4 on this list including Estrada and Etzel.
    • I don’t.  He passed rookie eligibility two years ago.   
    • I think Fangraphs decides who’s eligible as of the start of the season.  Unlike other publications that release all their team lists at the same time, Fangraphs slow rolls theirs over a 6 month period or so.   Therefore, to put all the teams on the same footing, they base eligibility as of the start of the season.   
    • Clearly he has a roster spot for a playoff series with the Yankees….
    • My stance would be pretty simple. Im not trading any of the top 3 prospects and im not trading any of the young talent that is controlled long term that is currently on the ML roster. That means besides the very obvious guys that players like Cowser and Kjerstad are also off the board. Now, if a player like Skubal becomes available, that could cause me to change my mind but as I look around at the reported available players, I don’t see anyone worth a top 20 prospect or young contributing ML talent. Guys like Norby and Stowers fall into that latter category but they aren’t here right now and they are just redundant on our roster. So I’m telling teams if you want to deal with us, guys like Norby, Stowers and Beavers are who will lead deals and that several vets, led by Mountcastle, are also on the board in any potential contender/contender(fringe contender) type deal. I think whether it’s Fedde or relievers like Estevez or Nardi or Garcia or even Scott, I think we have enough to get deals done without trading any of the guys we would rather not lose. This is all to say that I just don’t see that proven elite high end talent available this deadline to justify trading any of those top guys.
