The Baltimore Orioles’ situation with Ubaldo Jimenez might have come to a head yesterday in Toronto. Jimenez didn’t make it out of the first inning of the game, giving up five runs on four doubles. Jimenez’s line: 0.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 0 BB, 1 K.
The Orioles brought Vance Worley in for Jimenez, and he was able to make it to the fifth inning with some success. It would seem to me that it would be easy enough to simply swap Jimenez into the bullpen and Worley into the rotation, however as is generally the case I suspect that’s a bit overly simplistic.
