In at least two ways, the bullpen is the least of the Orioles’ worries right now. I know that expression makes it sound like the Orioles have a LOT of other worries, but that’s not what I mean. The Orioles are not that concerned about the state of the ‘pen right now. Nor should they be.
First of all, the tough decisions (the Opening Day roster is due at noon Tuesday) lie elsewhere. That is, regarding the starting rotation—how long Grayson Rodriguez will be on the shelf, whether Cade Povich is ready, how quickly to bring back Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells—and the position players—how to try and replace Gunnar Henderson while he recovers from an intercostal strain, what to do with all those outfielders, who to include as utility infield depth.
