UNC could be basketball-challenged again this year after losing 2 of their four big men as the Wear twins transfer out
So i decided that this year I was going to keep track of the Most Birdland Player Awards. Apparently I chose the wrong year to do so. There were a number of games without MBP polls, partially...
So normally I'd post this as a fanshot, but since everyone is depressed right now, I doubt anybody is looking that far down the page. So in order to cheer everyone up I thought I'd post a video of...

So I've been playing around with the MLB Gameday BIP Location app since finding via Baseball Analysts For those who don't want to click the link it's basically a java? app that allows somebody to...
John Sickles recently put up a list of sleeper prospects here. It was a fairly substantial list but not a huge one. I thought I'd take a quick look at the two O's he marked. The two Baltimore...
Not about the orioles, but it seems like the Os could learn some things from how the Twins scout internationally
Part of a series, Matthew Pouliot takes a look at Baltimore's depth chart.
Yeah they were bad, but were the Orioles also unlucky? BABIP says so.
The new fangraphs writer takes a look at sinkerballers holding up Brad Bergeson as the inspiration
5. Baltimore Orioles (4*)- The fact that the system remains this strong after graduating a slew of prospects to the big leagues in 2009 is a very good sign for Oriole fans. The system is thin on position players, but I like Snyder and Bell. The system also features a lot of players in the high minors (although that is not a bad thing). I liked the Orioles' 2009 draft, and it will be very important that those players progress to fill in some of the holes in the lower minors. I think this system has more depth than it is given credit for, but the Top 7 is what makes it an above-average system. The Orioles totaled 12 players in the top 150 (1 A, 3 B+, 3 B, 3 B-, 2 C+). System Sleeper: Aaron Wirsch- The Orioles' 7th round pick in 2009 had a great pro debut. He's got a big time curve, and the frame to grow into some velo.

Huff to the Giants? We need to wait until league interplay to watch Huff double fist-pump after getting a hit against chamberlain?
The popular options at third are currently Garrett Atkins, Ty Wigginton both acting as placeholders for Joshua Bell. Most people have pretty much decided that the best action would be to use...
A nice list of Oriole prospects and who they're going to compete against in the majors. Includes some sleepers as well
So recently I've been looking at catcher defense articles due in large extent to Dan Turkenkopf's articles at Beyond the Box Score. Most catcher defense articles have scored Gregg Zaun extremely...
While taking a brief break from dying of overwork, I saw that the 2010 CHONE projections for hitters was up. For those who don't know Chone is a projection system like ZIPS or Bill James' which...
After spending a little bit of time looking through Baseball America's site, I stumbled upon a new name among their prospects of the week (Prospect Hot Sheet). Richard Zagone. A left-handed...
In honor of the Orioles playing with a 25-man team in October I figured it was time to take a look at who could be called up for the 3 games in October. Basically players need to be on the 40-man...
This is the second of my Oriole prospect breakdowns. This one is going to focus on bullpen prospects. My main reason for looking at the bullpen prospects is that I know we have a lot of bullpen...
Since the minor league seasons are ending, I figure now is a good time to take a look at some of our lesser-known prospects. Besides with school starting up again, I want to get this published...
Michael Flacco and Pedro Florimon, Jr. won MILB's players of the week. So what did they have to say about the two players? Down in Bluefield Flacco went on a hot streak hitting .480 to get on base...
Orioles have signed second-rounder Mychal Givens! This means that the Orioles have signed 9 out of their first 10 picks
With rumors about Trembley's demise could Bobby Valentine be the next Orioles manager? Or maybe as a member of the Orioles front office? Scroll down to the comments and see the first reaction.
Thr Orioles currently have two relievers in the top 10 of groundball percentage. Essentially they have two pitchers most likely to produce a groundball when it is hit. The two pitchers are Brian...
With Koji currently on the DL and the Orioles already declaring it most likely he will return as a member of the bullpen, I started wondering what kind of bullpen role he should have. Assuming...
I'm not sure how this one got posted on Sickles before here but it's time to rectify that situation. Chris Tillman will allegedly be up Wed to start. They didn't officially confirm who would be...
