I wonder how Showalter will feel about having a murderer in his bullpen. Its amazing this guy got in the country let alone pitching again for the Orioles. I guess since he is only being charged with involuntary manslaughter things are ok.Alfredo Simon allowed four runs -- three earned -- over five innings Thursday in his first minor league rehab start with Double-A Bowie.
He gave up six hits while striking out five and walking none. Simon also hit a batter and threw two wild pitches. He threw 56 out of 81 pitches for strikes and was sitting in the low-90s on the radar gun. The Orioles are in the process of stretching him out as a starting pitcher, so he'll likely need a few more outings before being activated from the restricted list.
