School of Roch: What's going to happen to Gausman?
Why in the hell is this even a topic of discussion? He's possibly the best starting pitcher the O's have right now. To hell with roster shenanigans. Put your best squad out there. Infuriating.

Gigantic 1B prospect Walter Young was claimed on waivers by the Padres in 2006. He smacked 33 dingers in Bowie in 2004.
