Bundy promoted in minors: The Orioles announced Wednesday that pitching prospect Dylan Bundy has been promoted from low Class A Delmarva to high Class A Frederick. He will make his Frederick debut on Saturday against Salem. Whats important are the skills he develops to become a major-league pitcher, executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said of Bundy, per MLB.com. He can get players out because he has an exceptional fastball we want him to get where he needs to be to be a major-league pitcher, and that means working on changing speeds and his breaking pitches.

Fantasy Analysis
On Sunday, O's director of pitching development Rick Peterson said Bundy still needs to work on his offspeed pitches, but he was still very complimentary of the 2011 first-round pick. Bundy might only be 19 years old, but he is already pitching well beyond his years. He went 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.23 WHIP in eight starts for Delmarva. He allowed just two unearned runs on five hits and two walks in 30 innings, while striking out 40. Despite his early promotion in the minors, Bundy still is a few years away from a Fantasy impact. He remains just a long-term keeper. (Updated 05/23/2012).
