Prior to the 2015 season, this set of questions was almost a daily occurrence and made for reliable fodder on local radio stations. Is Kevin Gausman going to be in the Orioles rotation to start the year? If not, then when will he get a spot? Is he better off in the bullpen for another year? It was enough to make your head spin.
Fast forward to the middle of June and the question has become, at least for me, "What the heck are the Orioles doing with Kevin Gausman?"
The right-hander was not given a spot in the starting rotation, but instead was placed in the Oriole bullpen with a role that was to be determined; half long-man, half dependable middle reliever.
