Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette told MASN.com that the organization is still not clear whether Kevin Gausman will serve as a starter or a reliever heading into next season. "We can decide that in spring training," Duquette said, adding, "I think long-term, he is more valuable to the club as a starting pitcher."
Gausman made five starts and 15 relief appearances as a rookie, finishing with a 3-5 record, a 5.66 ERA and 49 strikeouts over 47 2/3 innings.
