Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman is in the minors now. That's an indisputable fact. But how long he'll be there is a matter of debate.
The Baltimore Sun says it won't be long, suggesting that the only reason the Orioles sent him down was to get an extra bullpen arm following a 13-inning marathon Thursday. With Miguel Gonzalez expected to go on paternity leave soon, the Orioles could override the 10-day window normally required for a player sent to the minors and bring back Gausman for his next turn.
In other words, if you picked up Gausman as much for his upside as what he's doing in the here and now, don't use this demotion as an excuse to drop him.
Now, if you want to drop him because three of his five starts have been awful and the other two merely OK, that's a different story. And in some cases -- ones where Dan Straily, Rick Porcello or Jarrod Parker were available -- I'd be right there with you.
