Could this be more in line with a calcified cyst then? Some are prone to these in the upper shoulder area.

That’s tough… I hope these injuries don’t destroy what looks to be a promising career.

This isn’t quite an injury.
thecoffinnail
This is exactly why no prospect should be “untouchable”..
lookouts
Agreed. Chances are he’s going to have to nice career, but who really knows for sure?

Imagine if they had given the Red Sox Bundy instead of Rodriguez last year.. They probably could have gotten more than just Miller.. Perhaps the Red Sox would have thrown in a decent prospect or maybe even someone like Holt to help with the playoff push.. I am sure the Red Sox would have seen it as a coup regardless and the Orioles wouldn’t look so foolish this year for sending Rodriguez out for a rental reliever.. Now whenever he does come back Bundy has to go right to the rotation without being able to mature in the minors a bit more.. This is a lose-lose scenario for the Orioles any way you look at it..

That’s a lot of very unlikely hypotheticals waay after-the-fact. The fact is that when trades happen, you trade off of Present-Day values and risk, not what you think may (or may not) happen.

I think you’re a bit optimistic about what the O’s would have received for a high-level prospect who had just had TJ surgery a month prior to the trading deadline.
Having said that, Rodriguez was definitely an overpay.

Still too early to call that, Bundy could prove to be better than Rodriguez when he gets healthy.Rodriguez didn’t do so well when matched up against AL East teams.
thecoffinnail
Yes, but by the time Bundy gets the proper development and becomes a stud pitcher he will be approaching free agency..

Oh, pitching injuries are now isolated to prospects?
Ray Ray
Especially pitching prospects. They are just one minor tear away from losing A LOT of value. But it’s like with the pitching prospects on the Mets. Of their 5 prospects, 1 or 2 of them are probably going to be really great in the majors. 1 or 2 will be solid big league players and 1 or 2 will probably be busts. The problem with trading any of them is that you really have to guess right or your job will not last very long.

Terrible news, he’s been touted for years as the future ace of the Orioles rotation. Will be interesting to see what happens next year with him being out of options.
basemonkey 2
I don’t think it’s that terrible, but it’s def not positive. It’s not as if he is injured. He’s just shut down due to complication.
delmonyoung4gg
Yeah obviously better then needing Tommy John but I think the Orioles would of loved to have had him in the minors for another half year at least because next year they will just have to look at him in spring training and go from there.

The big looming question now will be how they handle his MLB contract situation next year. Technically speaking, he needs to be on the roster, or else be lost to other teams. I think he may essentially be treated as a de facto Rule V pick.
Bleed_Orange
I wonder if Bundy would rework his contract to give himself some more time in the minors next year? He’s more or less been sidelined for 3 years so he will obviously need some time to mature.

I think this is rather funny. Here is this young punk who told smaller market teams not to draft him because he wanted to make tons of cash without proving himself. Now he has injuries…..maybe justice is being handed out here.

I think he will go to the bullpen next year. Orioles already have six starters for five spots. they also have Tyler Wilson, Mike Wright, and TJ McFarland in Triple A. He will probably go to the bullpen and prove himself there before he joins the rotation barring injuries and transactions.
