You are such a kidder.

I am what I am.

Of those two spots, I think Kremer is most likely a candidate to fill one, I also think Kremer could be traded. Irvin could fill one.  

Anyway, back to Bradish.  I'd like to see him strike out more batters but I do believe he's a top 10 pitcher in MLB this year.  He will receive down-ballot CYA votes.  

Great performance last night.

Sure, you're right.  Bradish, G-Rod, Means.  Two spots are open.

Unless Kremer is traded how is he not a lock for the rotation next year too?

I don't think just because Wells can only go 15-20 they he will not be a start to begin the season.   They just need to plan for another starter for the 2nd half.

Why would they do that if they can find a viable 5th option for the rotation?

IMO, you don't make him a starter for 1/2 the season then go find someone else. If he gets any starts, it's as a spot starter IF he's stretched out enough to do that.

We needed those this past off-season too.  We got development from Bradish and Charlie Brown's box of rocks.

It's not about what you or I think.  

Yeah, I'm saying we were lucky this year.  We may not be next year.  That's why Elias needs to add some SP depth.

Bradish last night reminded me a bit of Scott Erickson.. outstanding and lots of grounders

FWIW, he's striking out nearly a batter an inning. Last night was a down night in that regard, but the Nats were flailing, and he let 'em.

Hyde is very good at say nothing if he wants to.  He didn't have to say anything about Wells role next year but he did.

Wells and Hall will come to ST as starters.   Who is the 5th starter will be determine during camp.

I absolutely agree that Wells and Hall will both get looks as starters next spring.  Do you think there will be no other competition?  It’s not a rhetorical question.  I think Irvin will get another look, McDermott might, and they could bring someone in from the outside.

Or maybe McDermott and Povich and Seth Johnson take an unexpected (to us anyway) major step forward .. or maybe a trade of middle infielder glut lands some pitching

Yeah, he's not, like, '89 Jeff Ballard or anything.  What's probably more important is that he's right now 9th in k/BB ratio and 3rd in WHIP.

I admit that wanting to see him strike out more is a bit of nit picking.  Only because I do believe he does have really good swing/miss stuff.

O's aren't trading Kremer this off season.  He has been a starter all season while Irvin has been to the minors twice.  Gibson and Flaherty will not be back.

I expect to see McDermott in the majors next year at some point.   Povich and Johnson have quite a bit to prove.

It would be unexpected.. yes.  But funny how sometimes a pitching lab tweak here, a new pitch there .. and voila…

Probably, but I wouldn't rule it out.  I mean, I don't believe Kremer is untouchable, I don't think anyone here would agree that he should be.  And if he's part of a package that could net something else that we need, I'd hope that Elias would pull the trigger.

He is most likely our 4th or 5th starter next year but outside of our top 3 I don't think anything is written in stone.

Back to Bradish....
