Same! Especially since there is an active thread on potential trades with the Jays. 

Joining the taxi squad means he isn't actually on the roster yet, correct? There would have to be an IL or other roster move. If we think he is starting on Thursday, will we perhaps option Tate or Akin after they pitch today? 

Or else Vespi goes down yet again.

Yeah, I have lost count but I think he is pretty close to being DFA if he is optioned again.

You're correct, he's not on the roster yet. If the team added him to the roster today, then they would have to pay him major league salary for today. So it makes sense that they would wait until tomorrow before announcing the activation.

Seems like a reasonable comp to me. 

Cade Povich 

Fastball	Slider	Curveball	Changeup	Command	FV
45 / 50	50 / 55	50 / 55	35 / 50	45 / 60	50

Cole Irvin

Fastball	Slider	Curveball	Changeup	Command	FV
45 / 45	45 / 45	45 / 45	55 / 55	55 / 55	35+

 

If Cade Povich can come to the show and give us what Irvin has I will be extremely pleasantly surprised!

I keep my expectations low to very moderate for first timers/rooks. I saw what Grayson did when he first got here. And I believe that Grayson is a much better/more talented pitcher than Povich.

But as always, I root for all in the orange and black to excel.

This is good to hear. I was concerned.

For a fraction of a second, I read the thread title and thought the Orioles traded him to the Blue Jays.

I did too.

Hyde confirms Cade Povich is starting tomorrow in the post game.

I'm guessing it's Vespi or Akin for the corresponding roster move.

Or Bradish to IL

Unless Bradish goes to the IL.  I hope that isn’t the case but Hyde was doing some dancing about it in his pregame press conference.

I hope it's not Vespi because he'll be out of options. And I think he's good enough to be on the team. 

Could be a good thing to deload Akin or otherwise use another Tate option.

I really hope that's not it because there's a decent chance we don't see Bradish until the second half of 2025.

Maybe or they just  want to be cautious with him.  Like they did with Grayson.

Interesting that Povich made it on BA's Top 100, updated 6/5 at #99.

Holliday #2, Mayo #17, Basallo #18 and Kjerstad #23.

O’s are only the slightest of dogs on the gambling sits. DK has them at +100. That’s literally even money. 

Let’s see what you can do Povich. I think we’re playing really good baseball and Povich gives us that spot starter lift.
