Who is the Orioles' best current defensive outfielder?

Adam Jones is now the 13th Oriole to receive an American League Gold Glove and the first since some pitcher named Mike in 1999. Jones deserves congratulations for the honor – just another impressive accolade for the Orioles’ 24-year-old center fielder. But I have to admit I am a bit surprised. Honestly, I thought Jones had a better year defensively in 2008...

Orioles: Glove story

Sorry, but I was on my flight home yesterday when the announcement came down that Adam Jones had won his first Gold Glove -- and the first by an Orioles outfielder since Paul Blair won the last of his eight in 1975 -- so I'm a little late to this party.

Why Would the Orioles Sign Chone Figgins?

Lost in Tim Kurkjian's piece about the offseason is this nugget about Chone Figgins and the Orioles: "Figgins had a poor postseason at the plate, but will be coveted by several teams (White Sox? Orioles?) if he gets to free agency. Chances are, the Angels won't let him get away."Now, I can understand why the White Sox would want Figgins given his speed and ability...
