Minor Leaguer Ohlman Suspended; Dylan Bundy Dominates Again

Found April 17, 2012 on Oriole Post:
PLAYERS: Dylan Bundy
TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles

Looks like an O's minor leaguer has been suspended for drug use...

From the Orioles: The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Baltimore Orioles Minor League catcher Michael Ohlman has received a 50-game suspension after a second violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse.

The suspension of Ohlman, who is currently on the roster of the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds, will be effective immediately.

The Baltimore SunBaltimore Sun and Roch's blogRoch's blog has more on the news. Ohlman was not suspended for steroids.

Not sure why any player would want to risk their career or development to use drugs; however, temptation is a hard thing to beat. I'm sure Ohlman is sorry for everything, and he'll learn a lesson in a hard way from this.

Finally, Dylan Bundy has dominated in yet another minor league start -- this time at home for Delmarva.

From MASN Sports, Steve Melewski's blog: OriolesOrioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy just completed his third outing as a pro and he has now pitched the equivalent of a nine-inning no-hitter over his three games for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds.

In the first inning tonight versus Hagerstown, the 19-year-old right-hander got a strikeout, followed by a pair of ground outs. In the second inning he got a fly out and then a pair of strikeouts. In the third he retired the first two hitters on ground outs before allowing a two-out walk before getting an inning-ending ground out.

Bundy retired the first 26 batters he faced as a pro before allowing a two-out walk in the third inning tonight.

Well, I don't think Bundy will be with Delmarva for too long. As it is, it may look like Bundy too good for the level of ball that he is in.

This season is critical for Adam Jones: Special For MASNSports.com

Via Oriole Post  |  April 19, 2012
During the offseason, one the biggest names on the Orioles - Adam Jones - was a target of trade rumors, specifically talks with the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Jair Jurrjens and infielder Martin Prado. Baltimore didn't wind up trading Jones, as we all know; however, will he stay with Orioles throughout his career or move to greener pastures and go to a winner? Jones'...

Waiver Wire: Nolan Reimold, OF, Baltimore Orioles

Via Win My Fantasy League  |  April 18, 2012
Nolan Reimold hit his fourth homer of the season last night.  That’s as many as Adrian Gonzalez and Prince Fielder combined.  So what if it’s not even a month into the season, it’s fun to think about. That being said, he is only owned in 16 percent of ESPN fantasy baseball leagues and 37 percent of Yahoo! fantasy baseball leagues.  This is a travesty for a guy who has 4...

Matt Wieters has arrived

Via The Flagrant Fan  |  April 17, 2012
Before there was this kid named Bryce, there was Matt Wieters. The past is always a bit murky, but it seemed in 2009 that Matt Wieters was the most highly anticipated rookie of his era. There is a remembrance of outrage when the Orioles gave homage to the almighty dollars clock and sent him to Triple-A to start the 2009 season after he has mashed his way through Double and Triple...

Orioles 3, White Sox 2

Nolan Reimold homered for the fourth consecutive game and made a terrific diving catch in left field, helping the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Tuesday night. Baltimore had just one hit before Robert Andino singled with one out in the sixth. Reimold then hit a drive to left-center off John Danks, giving the Orioles a 2-0 lead. J.J. Hardy followed with a drive...

So, the Orioles are only eleven games into the 2012 season. I felt that they would struggle throughout the season considering the state of their pitching; however, so far that has been wrong. The Baltimore Orioles won again in Chicago as they defeated the Chicago White Sox, in a razor thin 3-2 victory. Wei-Yin Chen earned his first major victory, and the bullpen – Darren Oâ...

Is Matt Wieters The Best Catcher In Baseball?

Via Camden Crazies  |  April 17, 2012
Maybe*. If he keeps hitting .344/.462/.750, then I like his chances to take that crown (as well as the MVP award – and maybe the Cy Young). * Just want to make sure it's clear that the hot start is nice but only slightly helps Wieters' cause - he was already probably one of the best catchers in baseball, and the leap to the top would have been a relatively short one in...

Line of the Day: Matt Wieters

Via Full Spectrum Baseball  |  April 17, 2012
April 16, 2012: Matt Wieters went 3-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI and powered the Baltimore Orioles to a 10-4 extra-innings victory over the Chicago White Sox. His second home run of the game was also his first career grand slam. Line: 4 AB | 2 R | 3 H | 5 RBI; 2 HR | 2 BB My fantasy perspective: Wieters came into the season as the fourth-ranked catcher and 82nd player overall...

Orioles Take Two of Three From Blue Jays

I only got to see the tail end of the first two games, but the Orioles taking the series in Toronto was both unexpected (given they were something like 5-290 there recently) and awesome. Nolan Reimold went 5-10 with two doubles and two homers (both in the top of the 9th - clutch!) in the O's two wins (and then sat for game three as Endy Chavez went 0-4 out of the lead-off spot...

The O's road-trip started out on the right foot, and begin a four-game set in Chicago as the middle leg in their road trip.The Good: Jake Arrieta was once again very impressive. His fastball was 93-96, and he threw it by people (5 total whiffs). The two-seamer showed some good movement (there was one in particular the tailed back over the black on the outside corner at 96...
