NICK MARKAKIS RUMORS
FanFest Notes & Thoughts: Nick Markakis
Oriole right fielder Nick Markakis spoke with the media at FanFest. He updated everyone on his injury, status heading into Spring Training, Brian Roberts, the pitching, and also the offense. Here are some quotes and notes I was able to pick up from him. *** Commenting about his recent surgery… Um, I’m doing good. It’s a sensitive area where I got cut open; as far as pain...

Player Profile #119: Nick Markakis | OF | BAL
In the interest of full disclosure, Nick Markakis probably would have ranked a little lower had we known he was undergoing abdominal surgery on January 6, but we made these rankings before the new year. We’ll release our updated re-rankings in mid-February when our first annal draft guide comes out, so if you’ve been worrying about what to get your girlfriend for Valentine...

What Happened To Nick Markakis?
Nick Markakis was looking like one of the best young players in baseball after the 2008 season, hitting 306/406/491 and racking up 6.3 WAR. He could do it all – hit for average, power, and play outstanding defence. The O’s wisely locked him up to a long term deal, paying him 66 million for 6 seasons. Markakis looked like a cornerstone outfielder, capable of leading the...

Gold Gloves and Perception is Reality...
Despite another poor season for the Orioles, they did get some well-deserved national recognition as both Nick Markakis and Matt Wieters were selected as Rawlings’ Gold Glove winners. We all know the impressive job that Wieters did behind the plate, firmly establishing himself as of one best young catchers behind the plate. He was a defensive marvel behind the dish, stopping...

FEELIN' IT
Red Sox fan gets a little handsy with girlfriend
One Red Sox fan enjoyed tonight's 10-4 win over the Orioles than the rest. NESN returned from commercial before the third inning to catch this gem. The commentary by Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy, which continues during Nick Markakis' at bat, is priceless. You could tell they were muted while giggling like little school girls. They avoided it for about a minute and a half...

Markakis and Arrieta Lead Orioles to Fourth Straight Win...
As we all know, Nick Markakis has had a period of struggles at the plate. There’s been speculation whether he has been hurt, struggling, having problems or otherwise; however, on Friday night, we all saw a glimpse of vintage Nick for the first time in a good, long while. The Orioles defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 7-0, last night thanks to six RBIs – including a grand slam home...

The Crystal Ball 2011: Nick Markakis
In what has become tradition, the Nick Markakis' hit chart from the 2010 season. The light blue dots are singles, next shade darker are doubles, etc. (image courtesy of katron.org): It's always a thing of beauty. He hits to all fields and still hits with a bit of power.I have given up on waiting for Markakis to blossom into a star but he's still a very good hitter. And although...

Nick Markakis and Arbitrary Standards
I'm not above beating a dead horse. This blurb from Phil Rogers column in the Baltimore Sun just got to me...The Orioles' Nick Markakis remains one of the best hitters no one notices. He entered the weekend with 43 doubles, making him only the third player in history to have four consecutive seasons of at least 43 doubles. The other two were Joe Medwick and Tris Speaker.OK...

What the Hell is Wrong with Nick Markakis?
One thing has been lost in all this winning of late is the fact that, very quietly, Nick Markakis is having a pretty poor year.Since his age 24 season, here's some of his rate stats: AVG OBP SLG OPS ISO BABIP2008 .306 .406 .491 .897 .185 .3502009 .293 .347 .453 .801 .160 .3172010 .289 .367 .423 .790 .134 .325As many...

It Could Be Worse: Nick Markakis
After a couple seasons of calling for a breakout season for Nick Markakis, it appears that the upswing in his offensive numbers may never happen. I was never one to think that Nick's line drive swing would develop into 30 home run power but I thought he would hit .300 with 20-25 homers and a great on base percentage and that his OPS would hover around .900 for his peak years...
