Grayson needs to move to the pen

[Winter]

one thing is certain he is NOT going to be helping this team this year, at best he might make a couple starts in September but i dont see it.

Eh, if he pulls it back together at Norfolk, he could still be pretty useful in a 2014 Kevin Gausman type role in September.

His next start would be against Cleveland, then you could maybe get creative and hold him until KC with two off days. I’d give him those two chances.

I agree. The O's have won 7 of his 10 starts. Some, including this one were terrible, but he has shown flashes and could find it soon too.

If his next 2 starts look like tonight, then it's time to go back AAA

I could see them going either way on this. He could be in Norfolk tomorrow or get a couple more chances to right the ship. 

That’s four huge blowups in 10 games. The other six starts have been ok to good but even in the good starts it often feels to me he’s barely hanging on. 

In the end when you look at his numbers without factoring in his prospect pedigree it’s pretty damning. I’d probably lean towards sending him down tomorrow for a bullpen arm for a few days, then call up Irvin to start next week.

The only reason he wasnt sent down my now is because of prospect ranking.

[Mr-splash]

Right now he is not a Major League Caliber starting pitcher. Point blank. He has 2 pitches. His breaking pitch is a non factor. He is fastball changeup. And he cannot command either pitch. 

[Mr-splash]

Grayson's future is the bullpen. He actually projects to be a solid reliever if he can just improve command slightly. Reminds of Bautista. Hard thrower. Good changeup. Generally doesnt know where the ball is going.

I’d like to get someone who is at least pitching well in return for that package

I bet you're someone who pays $40 for a Hamburger, too.

He may have been tapered to that role even if his ERA was not in the bad year Jordan Lyles zone.

Cleveland at the close of these 6 games isn't a very strong offense, if they let him have the turn.
