The Orioles selected Harvey's contract Thursday, officially adding him to their 40-man and active rosters.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old looks like he'll break camp as a member of Baltimore's rotation. Though Harvey has been charged with six earned runs on 10 hits (including three homers) over 10 innings in his three Grapefruit League starts, he's issued only one walk. Perhaps most importantly, he's impressed manager Brandon Hyde with his velocity readings, according to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com. Despite his background as a former staff ace for the Mets, Harvey's poor track record in the majors over the last several seasons should prompt fantasy players to tread cautiously. He shouldn't warrant much attention outside of AL-only leagues until he turns in some promising results.
