On Tuesday morning, MASN.com’s Roch Kubatko closed his morning piece by posing a question to Baltimore Orioles fans about the starting rotation in 2020. We know that All-Star lefty John Means has clearly earned a rotation spot next season, as has Dylan Bundy and Alex Cobb, if he’s healthy.
Kubatko’s question is an easy one to answer: Did anyone outside of Means and Bundy earn a rotation spot based only on a 2019 audition? Only one name stands out as having earned that opportunity: Asher Wojciechowski.
This isn’t to say that Wojo was great or someone who will be around by 2021, or even by the end of 2020, but if we are talking about solely those pitchers currently on the roster, Wojo is it.
