What Will Orioles Do With Jake Arrieta?
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2013 8:30 pm
Jake Arrieta has been inconsistent during his tenure with the Baltimore Orioles.
The 27-year-old has put in the work, but at this point the Baltimore organization has to decide what his future holds. Does he still have time to develop, or have we seen the best of the pitcher?
"The easy thing to say is trade him," Dan Connolly writes. "There are 29 teams that would take a chance on an arm with a 95-mph moving fastball, a hammer curve and biting slider. But you wouldn't get much in return. And there's the sinking feeling that Arrieta figures it out somewhere else. And if he does figure it out, he can be a top-of-the-rotation starter."
