Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Brian Matusz will be used as a starter in spring training next season. It's possible he'll move back to the bullpen for the regular season, as Showatler is doing it mainly to build up Matusz's innings. While it's probably too early to give up on the left-hander as a starter, there's no denying that he's been a different pitcher in relief. He posted a 1.35 ERA with well over a strikeout per inning out of the bullpen this season and a 5.42 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in relief.
