Orioles: What a relief...Hendrickson signs

The Orioles obviously didn't want another big snowstorm to delay the signing of reliever Mark Hendrickson, so they got it done a little while ago and designated right-hander Armando Gabino for assignment. Both moves had been pretty obvious for several weeks, but some logistical issues kept the situation on hold. The O's also just announced that they have signed left-handed reliever Will Ohman to a minor league deal and invited him to major league training camp. That also had been percolating for awhile. Dan Connolly reported last week that the O's had offered Ohman a contract and Jeff Zrebiec posted a blog item here Friday night saying he was their top choice of the remaining left-handed specialists on the market. Don't know if the front office will have anything else to report over the next few days, and I'm not holding my breath. Pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota in just nine days.
