Ho hum, Chris Tillman scoreless
Chris threw 6 innings of shutout ball. 6 Hits, 6K's, no walks. ERA is 2.50 right now.
I know most are going to disagree, but I would bet he's in Baltimore sooner rather than later.

Orioles trade for Mike Aubrey
He's a first baseman and he's not particularly good. Hitting 292 with 5 HR's in 57 AAA games. He's 27 and seems to be hurt more than he's healthy.
Cost us a PTBNL. Maybe this will give the Orioles flexibility to move our Aubrey.
Brian's first start in Bowie
Pretty friggin good. 6 IP, 0 ER (although 1 unearned run), 1BB, 3H and 10K.
Baysox won 4-1
Brian Matusz moving to Bowie
Looks like he's moving up a little earlier than expected.
Nick Markakis Video Diary
How many times can a guy say "you know" and "uhm" in 3 and a half minutes?
And I'm not sure why they call this a video diary.
Baseball Reference
Sorry to hawk someone else's site, but has anyone checked out the new BaseballReference.com site? Some of the new features are pretty friggin great. You want to know Mora's stats between 2002 and 2005? Just click on those years and it'll sum it up for you (including league adjusted stats). You can generate all stats in CSV format, so you can load them up in Excel. They also sum up stats automatically per team a player played for. And they finally added some advanced fielding stats (which was probably their biggest weakness), but still no VORP or WARP that I can find (although they do have batting wins and batting runs).
There seems to be a ton of changes and a ton of new stats.

Albers to the bullpen
I'm kind of surprised this decision was made so early. I thought he was probably one of the better candidates for the rotation.
Bill Rowell moves to the OF
I realize he's only 20, but I take this to mean he's pretty much a bust.
Poor Arod
Looks like Oriole fans won't be able to greet Arod on opening day. According to his brother, he's going under the scapel and rehab should take about 10 weeks.

The way I figure it, that's mid-May, although I tend to doubt that his brother has a medical degree. I know we aren't supposed to take joy in a player getting injured, but I'm not exactly going to shed tears over this either.

BP thinks Matt Wieters is pretty good too
Baseball Prospectus came out with their top 100 prospects today and the future HOFer is #1. No surprise, it's either him or Price. Other Orioles are Chris Tillman at #16, Brian Matusz at #19, Jake Arrietta at #52, and Brandon Erbe at #98.

A lot of these predictions are getting a little redundant, but its February and Ft. Lauderdale hasn't opened yet so what the heck.
