Who Will Replace Eaton?
Quote:
The Orioles finally gave up on Adam Eaton, releasing the struggling righthander on Friday. Baltimore fans hoping to see top pitching prospect Chris Tillman take his place in the rotation will have to wait a little longer.
Manager Dave Trembley will need to find a pitcher for Tuesday and the replacement will most likely come from the minors.
The Baltimore Sun reported that the Orioles will reach into Triple-A Norfolk and select one of four starters: right-handers Jason Berken, David Hernandez or David Pauley or left-hander Chris Waters. Tillman, 21, is not expected to be in consideration.
Based strictly on rotation turn, the 25-year-old Berken (2-0, 1.05 ERA in five starts since a promotion from Double-A Bowie) is in line to pitch Tuesday.
