I doubt with his resume he has much value. Have to build that at the big leagues. Has a ton to prove. 
 

He looks really good. His stuff is good. He isn’t getting good results with luck. He keeps this up he will get a crack at the rotation again at some point. 

Oh, I know, I was mostly joking, but I was also fairly serious. A lot of teams will see him as valuable piece that can be had cheaply. He’ll be worth a lot more in June, if he keeps this up, but it sure looks like he’s at least gonna break camp with the team as maybe #2.

And this is why defense is important. Because those ground balls are going somewhere, and we want guys who won’t play kickball with them

Bad outing by Zimmerman standards.  He allowed a run.

9 IP  1ER   1.00 ERA on the spring.

No he didn’t. Couple of walks. 

[eddie83]

 Couple more hard hit outs. More early hacks.

3 run bomb off of Lakins. 

[eddie83]

Another HR off Lakins.  

[Tony-OH]

This could be the end of Lakins. He doesn't provide length and his stuff is just below average overall. I'd much rather have Greene in the pen or keep Wells.

Hard to imagine Zimmermann not in the rotation this year.

3-run HR by Tiger SS Zack Short, followed by a solo shot from CF Akil Baddoo. Both off Lakins. Tigers lead 5-1 after 8.

I didn't think the Orioles could stick with a powerhouse like Detroit for a full game. Certainly understandable to give up the long ball to established sluggers like Short and Baddoo.

When you score one run, you don't have a lot of room for error. This team has hit horribly this spring outside of a few guys and this was certainly not the major league squad sent to Lakeland.

[Tony-OH]

Westburg and Henderson have looked totally over matched this spring. Was hoping to see some good ABs from them but they've got talent but a long way to go.

[Tony-OH]

Teams gotta love seeing the Orioles on their spring training schedule. Nothing like gaining some pitchers confidence after facing the Orioles hitters this spring. 

Honestly, all of the young players minus Rutschman and McKenna have looked really bad. Really disappointing to see them unable to compete. 

We may want to take a step back before we start claiming the Orioles hitting instruction has really made strides because I see a lot of upper cut swinging without a lot to show for it.

Yes but where? He’s been better than anyone, even Means. If Means gets OD, and Kremer is on schedule for #2, Zimm at #3 or even at #2 seems reasonable.
