Looks like this is how the rotation shakes out

[now]

It wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to stash GRod and do what I've been suggesting for a while: use a Wells/Hall (or Hall/Wells) tandem.

Hall hasn't pitched yet this spring so I can assure you that is not the plan.

Oh, ok I see I missed it.

Well, slightly revise my statement.  He's pitched 1.2 innings this spring.

Hall probably won't be ready when the ML and AAA seasons starts. I think he's likely to be held back in extended spring training for a couple of weeks and then sent out to AAA for rehab starts.

So many people mentioning this tandem stuff with G-Rod and Hall. I don't get it.

It is a very huge difference.

He is also pitching tomorrow  MIght get up to 3 2 innings for the spring.As someone said ,don't see him making the opening day roster even as a reliever but should be up soon after.Of course if they want him as a starter could be three or four weeks.

Kremer #2

Irwin could end up being a very valuable depth signing.

Huh. That's what I predicted earlier in this thread, but then Bradish was slotted after Gibson. Now they're moving everyone around? So confusing. 

[Es4M11]

Gibson
Kremer
Irvin
Bradish
Wells

Rodriguez starts in triple A.  I honestly think he was given a chance to earn a spot on the opening day roster, but he has been pretty underwhelming so far and the Orioles will be happy to get the extra year of service time.

Bradish it seems has also moved down the pecking order, no surprise after his recent battering. As for GRod/Hall tandem it's a way to build innings for both gradually if both are throwing well (vs. Watkins, Voth, Zimmerman, etc.)

I'm genuinely surprised that people think that the order these guys are lined up to start the season means anything at all.  Beyond the opening day starter, it's all about matchups and how prepared they are and almost nothing to do with any kind of "ranking" of the pitchers.
