Latest Orioles injury reinforces offseason need to add real starting pitching depth

When teams like the Baltimore Orioles don't create real starting pitching depth on their roster, every single injury and hiccup is amplified. You can afford to have an arm or two deal with minor injuries or regress if you actually build a proper pitching staff. However, when you are in a position where you are relying on the ghost of Charlie Morton and a rotation held together with twine and Elmer's glue, you can find yourself in a bit of a situation, and Tomoyuki Sugano's injury is just the latest example.

The Orioles have been killed all season long for how they handled their pitching staff last offseason, but Sugano has been a bright spot for them.
