November 6, 2008 Danys Baez, who missed all of 2008 due to Tommy John surgery, might return in '09 not as a bullpen arm but as a starter, according to the Baltimore Sun. "He's expressed some interest in preparing himself as a starter, and we'll see how things go from there," Orioles president Andy MacPhail said. "It seems to make sense. I don't know if you lose anything by doing that. Preparing yourself that you are going to start is not going to retard your development whatever the role you end up being in." Our View:Baez has made 394 appearances in the majors and just 26 of those have come as a starting pitcher (they were all in 2002). Regardless of the role, it would be wise to pass on Baez until he shows he is healthy and can throw strikes. |

July 1, 2008 Danys Baez has been transferred to the 60-day DL, according to the Baltimore Sun. The team made the move to make room for infielder Freddie Bynum on the 40-man roster. Our View:Baez is likely out for the remainder of the 2008 season while he slowly recovers from Tommy John surgery. |

June 21, 2008 Danys Baez is having difficulty making progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and is not likely to return to the Orioles in 2008, according to the Washington Post. Manager Dave Trembley said, "I don't expect him back this year. I think he'll be on a throwing program the entire year. I wouldn't expect that he would be available until sometime next year." Our View:Baez might not be able to pitch until next May. |

May 23, 2008 Danys Baez is still restricted to long-tossing and isn't expected to pitch this season, according to the Baltimore Sun. The righty is throwing from 120 feet now, but he'll need to progress to 150 and 180 feet before going to the bullpen. Our View:Baez is not expected back this season but should be fine for spring training next year, assuming all goes well in rehab. |

February 14, 2008 Danys Baez , who underwent Tommy John Surgery last season, has yet to be cleared to start throwing, according to the Baltimore Sun. The report mentioned that recent inflammation in his elbow has slowed his rehab. He's scheduled to visit Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., later this month. The O's set-up man wasn't expected to pitch this season so this negative report won't effect his fantasy value. He has none. |
