I don't know how to embed a tweet so that it shows up without having to follow a link, but apparently the Boston Globe is reporting that Victorino is unlikely to play. Jackie Bradley Jr. will probably be the center fielder.

It's sink or swim time young Mr. Bradley.

That lineup does not impress me.

Orioles officially announce Hunter the Closer. *Basically*

BALTIMORE -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter officially named Tommy Hunter the club's closer, speaking to the right-hander during Sunday's workout.

"If we get in that situation, Tommy will get an opportunity to do that job for us," Showalter said of Hunter, who was widely expected to be Baltimore's ninth-inning man after this winter's trade of Jim Johnson to the Oakland A's.

Showalter didn't want to talk about the closer situation this spring, and some clubs, like the Tampa Bay Rays, never formally unveiled a closer.

"I think every situation calls for a little something different," he said. "Whether it's Fernando Rodney or [Grant] Balfour or Tommy, we have some people that we think have that potential also. We are going to start that way and see if Tommy seizes that opportunity and that job."

Hunter went 6-5 with a 2.81 ERA in 68 games last season, including four saves, and he'll try to fill the void of the All-Star Johnson, who posted back-to-back 50-save seasons.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
