Is Yoon coming for a physical or does this mean it's official if he shows up?

Biggest question marks for me is how Reimold looks swinging the bat but I don't think we'll have an answer on that for awhile.

Very curious to see what kind of shape Delmon Young is in as well. He looked good at the mini camp.

Also curious to see if anyone looks "out of shape".

Tilly and Norris aren't sculpted but Norris was always a little pudgy. CT looks a bit hefty but I assume he'll "regress" to his normal body shape.

Thanks to all who have posted updates and pictures.

I'm very interested in how Wei-Yin Chen is doing. I recall hearing that there were some concerns about his health over the offseason.

From Roch

"I was back in Taiwan and I took a rest for three months," Chen said through his new interpreter. "At this point, I feel like I'm pretty good and I will be able to get into the bullpen when spring training starts. I feel very good.

Chen said the knee actually bothered him two seasons ago.

"Doctors said to take some rest and it'll be fine, but it didn't really get better," he said.

"Now it's no problem at all."

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
