MASN: Pitching in with more thoughts about the Orioles' staff

Feels like the call is going out to lower expectations of a trade for a better SP.

 

Taking the Orioles rotation for another spin

 

Again, I don't really have an issue with the current rotation.  I've shared thoughts where I'd try to improve it (Woodruff) or try something bold (MadBum)...but many people seem to be waiting for something 'better' to happen.  Feels like Roch is letting us know everything is OK as is.

 

Here's the one thing I don't understand when he talks about IL Hall (and to a lesser degree) GRod, these guys can't get cut loose early.  I have no idea why he's promoting that.  Is that really just to sit here in Jan and try to convince people that is actually real?  GRod will have to be limited.  If they don't manage him some, he gets shut down in August.  If you don't manage Hall a lot, he gets shut down around the ASB.  They have to manage these guys innings.  Roch is telling us that's not a thing. I don't think Roch is dumb.
