Hyde tackles variety of topics during media session - Blog

The needle is pointing up for the Orioles.

How difficult would it be to go into next season without an established No. 1 starter?
“We’ll see where it lands here at the end. There’s still a long way to go between now and March. But I feel great about the progress that some of these guys made last year. What Dean (Kremer) did the second half, what (Kyle) Bradish did the second half, what Tyler (Wells) did in the first half. Grayson (Rodriguez) is going to be a part next year. It feels good knowing we have some real starting pitching candidates who have an opportunity to be good players.

“If it stands the way it is right now, I feel good about our guys. Now, we’re going to add more, that’s great. The more depth the better, the more experience the better, so we’ll see what happens.”

Is DL Hall in the rotation breaking camp, or potentially in the bullpen?
“We haven’t even talked about it, but probably right now if we go into spring we’d build him up to be at least a multiple-inning guy, then we’ll see what the rotation looks like and see what the bullpen looks like from there.”
