The lineups these guys have been facing are no were near what the O's will have to face after the season begins.   They appear to be months away from the majors IMO.   There has to be something else happening here.

You may be right.

I'm not sure Cobb has confidence he can make it through a season effectively. At the end of the day, he just needs to prove it one way or the other. Hopefully he will pitch great and make himself a commodity at the trading deadline this year.

He should get with Chris Davis for the confidence spectrum, at least what he's shown confidence wise spring training.

We finally have “prospect” depth in the upper minors. Guys that actually have options. With that being said, this season is about bridging the time between OD and when those prospects are actually ready. So there’s no need to mess with any prospect’s routine because we need to cover IP at the MLB level.  Bailey and Rucker weren’t worth jeopardizing that. 
 

Bottomline is that we have “our” guys, that we need to keep on a schedule in the minors. They have no business coming up too soon because a 100 loss team is scrambling to cover IP.
