Thanks for this, so helpful!

I understand the "what's the rush?" mentality that goes with sending Bundy to Delmarva. But honestly, isn't he almost wasting his time there? Is this maybe even just a business decision, a favor to your low-A affiliate to let them generate some buzz and take in some gate for a few starts before you bump the kid up to Frederick?

Can he pitch and succeed there before we make that decision?

Yes. Yes he can. And will. :-) I guess if he struggles out of the gate I may have egg on my face for suggesting he needn't bother.

I agree with Kevin, I think the move is low risk. If he goes there and dominates for 5 starts they can move him up.

If he goes to High A and struggles then people will question the moves and fans say they can't handle prospects etc

I think it's right to test him there and then let him make his own timetable

Hey, minor typo, but I don't think Trevor Bauer is in the Orioles' system.

No he is not!

Whew! I can watch him in Jacksonville if he's still in the Minors when they come to town in a month, then!

Kevin. This is great. I have been looking for something like this. Especially since I purchased the MiLB add on to my At Bat subscription.
