The Marlins also snagged Troy Patton.

FEB. 18: The Rays announced to the media today that they have signed right-hander Ryan Webb to a one-year deal, via Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (Twitter link) and Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribine (Twitter link). Topkin tweets that Webb is guaranteed $1MM and can earn more via incentives.

Looking like Ex-Orioles move to Florida and play for the Rays! :)

Single bullet, eh? Did he have a wooden gun too maybe?

There was a buzz surrounding Nick Markakis' arrival at Braves spring training camp,and the fact that he appears to have regained his strength after an offseason that didn't include rehab only part of the reason for it.

The beard is gone, shaved the day before.

"Got down here, and it was too hot for it," Markakis said Thursday. "I'm sure it will come back."

Now he and the Braves are hoping his power and arm strength do the same.

As Markakis took batting practice for the first time this spring, he drove one ball over the outfield wall. Then another, and another.

"There you go," said catcher A.J. Pierzynski. "Four homers in BP."

They certainly don't count, but those shots are proof of months of work for Markakis.

"I like to think I did everything I can this offseason," the 32-year-old right fielder said. "Offseasons get shorter and shorter as you get older. It was a good offseason, a productive offseason and I'm where I think I need to be."

    • There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.  
    • I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.
    • Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization. 
    • The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.    
    • I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.  
    • Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again. He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota. I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.
    • I care I bet the over on 88 wins, looked like a lock now not so much, come on O’s, daddy needs some new shoes
