Possible this is Milone’s last start and Akin could take his place. 

Cheap option in a season where contenders have pitching depth concerns and don’t have to give up much. 

Milone hasn’t been bad, if Akin replaces anybody, I think Wojo would be a better candidate. I like him and I haven’t given up on him, but he hasn’t been very good.

edit: Oh I think I misunderstood. Are you talking about Milone as a trade piece?

Yes. Not saying he would get anything back.

Just to update this thread, some chopped out bits from Roch's column yesterday:

LeBlanc is on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow stress reaction.

“You just never know when a guy comes off the mound like that,” Hyde said.
“I don’t know what kind of treatment you do for a stress reaction,” Hyde said. “From what it sounds like to me, not being a doctor, is that it’s bone, which is a positive. It’s not muscular or ligament. It’s a stress reaction to the bone, so that just takes a little bit of time to heal."

Sounds like it's close to a stress fracture, but not fully fractured? IDK, I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on the interwebs.

“Sevie’s day-to-day right now, so we got good news on Sevie that he felt a lot better [Monday], feels even better [Tuesday],” Hyde said. “The hip’s just a little bit sore, tight. I think hopefully he’ll be in there the next day or two.”

The Orioles have handled Akin very poorly but he is back up and starting today.  They need to give him a look.

I liked the curveball LeBlanc could flip. His stats look terrible for this year but he looked good in flashes.

I hope he gets a shot somewhere next year.
