Elias loves high spin rates, so that was probably a factor in claiming him.

Vet arm and he gets to get rid of another DD era player. Voth could be a deep depth IP eater for the rotation too. We’re running out of guys here.

Yes but not today, I guess there is some travel time allowed.    So someone will have to be bumped off the major league roster tomorrow (or maybe Thursday, don't know).

Has pitched an 1 1/3 since June 23th. I guess he will be well rested.I  guess Vespi goes down to Norfolk on his scooter.

Has not started in a long time.Mostly an inning here and there because he was so bad. Has 19 or so innings pitched this year.

Look like the next Logan Allen. They claim him, give him a inning in few games in low leverage situations and then DFA'd him to Norfolk where the work on fixing him.

Yeah, you’re  probably right. He did clear the whole NL.

Don't say the Orioles won't spend money!   Voth makes $875K this year, and he'll likely be replacing someone who makes the MLB minimum of $700K.

We opened up the checkbook on this one.

Omg Voth was awful and got more chances in DC than my ex wife but he can eat innings…so there you go.

I posted above a Washington Post article that is literally titled "Why the Nationals’ Austin Voth experiment lasted as long as it did".

Yep, he was dreadful.

Other than pitching one night and being DFA'ed is there any upside here? He wasn't bad in 2019 I guess.

Voth is a Statcast darling who has never seen his skills translate.

"Statcast ranks his curveball spin rate in the 96th percentile. His fastball ranks in the 84th."

Hyde said Voth for length? He has pitched two innings back in ApriL,once . I think Lopez has longer stints then him.

The NCAA Stewart and Sedlock busted, while the HS guys Hall and GR are top prospects. 

Are you drawing a conclusion from that?

For what it’s worth, Rodriguez (11) and Hall (21) were higher picks than Stewart (25) and Sedlock (27).

He's well rested.
