Jake Arrieta, Eduardo Rodríguez, Kevin Gausman… Grayson Rodriguez?
Let’s be honest, the Orioles have needed starting pitching this entire century. And that’s a large part of the reason that the last couple first round picks by Dan Duket were starting pitchers. And for the longest time, the hopes of this rotation were pinned on the futures of DL Hall and Grayson Rodriguez. Both those guys leave after just two big league seasons and a combined 72 appearances in the big leagues with the Orioles, which is crazy to say. Everybody knew Jay Herod had all the talent in the world. They traded him for Scott Feldman. Eduardo Rodriguez was a really good pitching prospect probably other than Dylan Bunny at that time like their best pitching prospect. They traded him for Andrew Miller because Andrew Miller was really good. Grayson Rodriguez was he was pretty good. He didn’t based on what you hoped he would deliver in terms of performance and value. He did not pitch as much as you would want to. And that’s like that book is closed. But like if he’s going to have a prime, it’s going to be somewhere else. Yeah. And he will be the eenth person who who that can be said for about that this organization has pinned its pitching hopes on and and not you know gotten to reap rewards.
Will Grayson Rodriguez be the latest former Orioles pitching prospect to reach his full potential with a different club?

is Os SP woes akin to Ravens WR.. until recently
So basically, you admit that the pitching staff on this team is trash or scouting
Why not Grod? I hope it happens to him! Plus, the O's are way overdue for another cast off turned Cy Young winner (or close to it). But I think he's going the way of Erik Bedard.
G Rod will be in contention for the Cy Young award in August.
