Baseball Starting Up Again; Whitney Houston
We are a little less than a week from Spring Training down in Sarasota and I'm excited. With football over, fans can look forward to seeing what the Orioles can do down in Florida. Most of us think that the 2012 campaign for the team may turn out like previous 14; however, the organization is under a new regime now and I'm intrigued to see the results over the next eight...

Thoughts on Nick Johnson and Yoenis Cespedes; Other Stuff
Yesterday, the Baltimore Sun reported that the Orioles were on the verge to signing first baseman Nick Johnson to a minor league deal. Well, this deal is another in a good amount of 'value' or 'bargain-bin' contracts that Dan Duquette has offered to veterans and minor league free agents this season.>>> Read More

More on Jeremy Guthrie
I've been taking a scan at the other blogs such as Camden Chat, the Loss Column and the various forums during a lull in the workday here for a reaction to the Jeremy Guthrie trade. It's like everyone still wondering why it happened. Very few fans are pleased with it. I'm still dumbfounded by what happened yesterday with the Guthrie trade. It's not because he...

The Orioles Rebuilding Plan Keeps Going and Going...
With the trade of Jeremy Guthrie this week, it looks like the Orioles long-term project of rebuilding the organization is one with no end in sight. As Spring Training opens up in a little more than a week and it’s obvious the team needs - a) pitching, pitching, and more pitching; plus, another big bat. It looks as if there will be a lot of pitchers in camp, and except for...

Not a fan of the Jeremy Guthrie trade...
This afternoon, I asked people's feelings on the Jeremy Guthrie trade on Twitter, and from what I got, people hate it. I'm a bit confused why this trade happened now (despite Guthrie's arbitration hearing) and what the team got in return. That being said, Dan Duquette held a press conference with the local and electronic media this afternoon about the trade. I didn'...

Pitcher Jeremy Guthrie Traded to the Colorado Rockies
Most fans had the feeling that a move was going to happen with the Orioles right before camp opened up in a few weeks. This morning, pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was traded to the Colorado Rockies for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom, according to the Baltimore Sun. He's been rumored to be potentially be traded several years, and it finally happened. I figured that Guthrie...

FanFest Notes & Thoughts: Jason Berken
At this year’s FanFest, we got to spend a few moments with Baltimore relief pitcher Jason Berken. My recorder died, so I am going to a paraphrase what he said with some quotes; however, we talked about his season in 2011, his preparation for Spring Training in Sarasota in a few weeks and his weight loss. Berken said that his weight loss – close to 30 pounds – last season...

Super Bowl Predictions -- Patriots Win
On Sunday, as we all know, Super Bowl XLVI is being held in Indianapolis, IN. Being that I have no rooting interest in either team and just want to see a good game, I might as well list my prediction who will win the Super Bowl. I say the New England Patriots will win Sunday's game for it all, 26-21. Although the New York Giants have been hot throughout the playoffs, I think...

Duquette's risky plan
Dan Duquette has a plan. It is not the plan that many wanted. Prince Fielder is not part of that plan, neither is trading Adam Jones or Jeremy Guthrie. No, but Duquette has a plan. And it is very risky. Looking at the moves Duquette has made this offseason I think it is pretty clear, he still believes in the talent that is on this roster. I made this comment at fanfest: "...

Manny Ramirez to Baltimore? Edwin Jackson and Other Stuff...
Why do I see Manny Ramirez with the Orioles? They seem to have an affinity for signing past-their-prime, over the hill guys. Last year, it was Vladimir Guerrero, who could still hit (albeit, without power) and didn't do much else.>>> Read More

Thoughts on Edwin Jackson: Doesn't Look Like He's Joining the Orioles...
As Dan Duquette keeps making little moves here and there, there’s been a lot of speculation on one pitcher – righty Edwin Jackson. With the off-season down to its final few weeks, Jackson – in search of a long term contract with super-agent Scott Boras – is still without a team. Reports have surfaced in the media that Jackson perhaps may go after a one year contract and...

FanFest Notes & Thoughts: Tommy Hunter
During Orioles FanFest, pitcher Tommy Hunter spoke with the media for a few minutes, and I’ll say that he’s one of the funnier, candid and more laid back athletes I’ve met on the team. It was certainly a delight to interview him, and he seemed very much ready for camp to open up towards the middle of this month. As we know, Tommy is a big boy – as he is currently listed...

Well, the Orioles were busy on Monday. They announced that several players signed minor league deals with the organization, and some of them may be names you recognize. Ok, so the Orioles didn’t sign marquee guys; in fact, most of these players are your proverbial low-risk, high reward guys.

FanFest Notes & Thoughts: Nolan Reimold
As most of us fans know, it’s been a very tough road for Nolan Reimold during the past few seasons. Between personal problems, battling for playing time, plus bouncing up and down between the minors and majors, it’s been a wait-and-see game with him; however, when given a chance to play, he’s delivered. His ability to come through in the clutch was evident in game 162...

Plugging along
The Baltimore Orioles continue to plug along this offseason making tiny moves that, while solid, divide the fanbase.
