Will Brian Roberts Ever Return?
A lingering topic at FanFest -- and for much of the off-season -- involved second baseman Brian Roberts. As we all know, he’s missed much of the past two seasons dealing with post-concussion syndrome issues and other injuries. At this point, one has to ask – will Brian Roberts ever suit up for the Baltimore Orioles again? Considering that he missed FanFest and not been heard...

The wisdom and world-weariness written all over Bruce Bochy's face is a good match for that of Robert Forster, but it's not hard to imagine that if he were cast as the Giants' manager, Forster could find Brandon Belt 450 plate appearances and would certainly tell Brian Sabean to round up a few hitters that still have a pulse.—Jay Jaffe...

Why 2012 Is An Important Year For The Orioles (Part One)
The Baltimore Orioles are viewed as one of the worst organizations in baseball. They play in the toughest division in baseball, have a weak farm system and lack the necessary talent at the big league level to be competitive. Peter Angelos, one of the most unpopular owners in baseball, seemingly has been hesitant to adjust to the baseball industry of the 21st century. Angelos has...

Orioles Brian Roberts’ status still up in the air
Brian Roberts may be the longest tenured member of the Baltimore Orioles but the status of the oft-injured second baseman is still unclear. Roberts missed the first four months of the 2010 season with a back injury. He returned shortly after Buck Showalter’s hiring. Roberts went on to play in 59 games that season with a .745 OPS and 12 stolen bases.
The start of the 2011 season...

Baltimore Orioles: Decline of home-field advantage
First off some housekeeping; the Baltimore Orioles signed former first round draft pick Matt Antonelli last week. Antonelli came up within the San Diego Padres organization, and was in essence considered a bust when he only hit .215. However the Orioles must have liked what they saw in 2011 when Antonelli hit .297 with Washington’s triple-A club. Antonelli is primarily an infielder...

Orioles Sign Matt Antonelli
The Orioles have singed infielder Matt Antonelli to a contract, presumably for the minimum as it's a major league deal. If that's the case, I like the move. The former top prospect no longer has the ceiling he once did at age 26, but with Brian Roberts potentially not being able to play it's nice to have some decent depth (gives the team extra flexibility with Robert Andino and Ryan...
