For most of offseason, the Orioles had been targeted as possible destinations for all of the vagabonding starters still left on the market, and justifiably so. Even before Chris Tillman abruptly showed up to camp in need of a PRP shot in his throwing arm, the O’s bottled up their need for an additional starting pitcher or two without talking to a therapist, or you know, signing anyone of note.
To Dan Duquette’s credit, he truly believes the O’s are OK on the starting front, and as easy as it is to dismiss his faith, there is certainly reason for optimism.
