Arrieta: I think he should be a power reliever/closer.
Matusz: half of a good season doesn't make a career.
Wada: More likely to be a reliever if he signed anywhere else.
I think that the rotation ends up being:
Hammel
Hunter
Britton
Chen
Wada/Arrieta/Eveland/Bergesen

He will be the OD starter.
That would be really interesting. I would be excited because he's one of my favorite players, and I'm going to Opening Day. But boy is it a sad state of affairs when Tommy Hunter could potentially be your OD starter.

In a perfect world, he'd be in the bullpen, but this is not a perfect world by any means. Hunter is our best pitcher on Feb 17th. That could change and change fast, but it is what it is. And he could get even better if he's in better shape like everyone says he is.

Not something you can quantify (or that particularly matters), but he does continue to come across as a likable guy.

"Tommy Hunter (lower back) came through three innings in a "B" game on Sunday with no problems, and he will pitch four innings Friday in either a Minor League game or the Orioles' game."

If Hunter goes than I have a hard time making the case for the following players:
Arrieta: I think he should be a power reliever/closer.
Matusz: half of a good season doesn't make a career.
Wada: More likely to be a reliever if he signed anywhere else.
I think that the rotation ends up being:
Hammel
Hunter
Britton
Chen
Wada/Arrieta/Eveland/Bergesen
Arrieta out of the pen? You are crazy. He has the best "stuff" out of anyone on the staff, other than maybe JJ.
Hunter will be the OD starter, Arrieta "#2", Britton if he is healthy (questionable), Hammel, Chen.
The rest of those guys will get their opportunities, especially if Britton can't stay on the field and Matusz struggles in AAA.

"Tommy Hunter threw four innings and 60 pitches yesterday against the Boston Red Sox's Single-A team at Twin Lakes Park."
That was good to see. This puts him right on track to be ready to start the year.

I have been saying I felt he was better in the pen and maybe he still is...but I have a feeling that he could be a solid 4th starter in this league.
One thing I tend to underestimate about him is that he is still young.

I am starting to come around more on Hunter.

He's still young and he's had too many battles with injuries. If he can stay healthy for us for couple of years I think he could definitely add some value to the team. I still think it was a steal to get Hunter for Koji.

Looking forward to seeing Hunter tomorrow vs. the WS.

"Orioles starter Tommy Hunter is still dealing with lingering discomfort in his left side — a carryover from a back strain he had this spring — although he said Friday that he doesn’t feel anything when on the mound."

Chance to win another series tomorrow, and Hunter gets the ball.

Oh, and it's nice to have a Bama alumni on the staff.
