Andrew Cashner's four starts now with the Orioles, both in their quality and the team's inability to do anything with them, have led to the free-agent right-hander being lumped in the same category so far this year as Dylan Bundy.
But where Bundy has been dominant in a lot of ways, Cashner has been dominant in the moments when it's been required of him. Whether the results he's gotten so far are because of a legitimate skill, or just smoke in the first month of a long season, will go a long way to seeing whether the Orioles fulfill manager Buck Showalter's Tuesday pregame prophecy that his club was going to end the season with a good rotation.
