Can't argue with his choice of noun.

Idk, somewhat insulting to dogs.

Baumann started last year on the injured list. He had a couple starts at a lower affiliate before being run through Bowie to “check off that box” as Elias likes to say. He really struggled at first before putting together an impressive string of starts that carried over to AAA. I’m really thinking forward to seeing him this year and I agree the AAA rotation is where he should start. It feels a bit like his prospect shine has worn off. I’d like to know why that is (I didn’t see him in his limited ML action last year.) 

Came in to a bases-loaded, 2-out situation with the Twins just now in the 6th, and retired the batter on a foul popup at 1B on 3 pitches.

Baumann was throwing 96-98mph.   Also throwing his curve and slider.

Only 1 game left. Rotation in flux lol but my guess is Elias goes with worst options to solidify bad start/high pick. 
 

Kremer belongs in AAA.

please DFA Akin.

Lowther 5th guy is my guess.

Means

Lyles

Zimmerman (home opener hopefully)

Wells piggy 

Lowther (5th)

I wouldn’t rule out Elias keeping both Akin and Kremer in rotation to start season to ensure a slow start/tank.

New prediction time! Curious if this PTBNL is of value. Anyone have any educated guesses how that typically works? Someone likely on their 40 man or not?

He was a bubble guy for me until this game. And now with the trade I absolutely give him a spot on the 28 man. He can be a guy like Lopez.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

A hard throwing righty who can go multiple innings is all I meant really. We'll see, I have a lot of hope for Lopez in the bullpen.

Stewart is back in the lineup today. Seems unlikely he would start on the IL at this point. Though I can't say for sure that he has a roster spot secured.

Officially we know it won’t be Adley.

Ugh, matter of weeks. I thought he was progressing well and hitting and throwing.  I hope this isn't the classic Orioles case of saying a guy will be out longer then they originally say. I still fear this snowballs and in a week from now its the same thing and weeks turns to a month.

Well you figure he rehabs, gets in some time in extended ST and goes to the minors for 5 games or so.

Probably puts him up here around May 1 if there are no setbacks..which just also happens to be at a point in the season where they gain the extra year of service time.

I don't mind the rehab in AAA before he comes up, its more of the worry that in a week or two we will be reading the same that he isn't ready for games and is still hitting off a tee and light throwing but progressing nicely.
