Thursday, February 4:
Steve Melewski writes on Billy Rowell: "After struggling for two straight seasons with the Frederick Keys of the Carolina League, O's minor leaguer Billy Rowell is making a change.
He made some adjustments with his swing during instructional league workouts in September and October." [masnsports.com]
Dan Connolly reports on Jeremy Guthrie's contract: "The Orioles and the agent for starter Jeremy Guthrie are still discussing a contract before potentially heading to arbitration later this month. Guthrie has filed for $3.625 million, and the Orioles have countered with $2.3 million.
If the sides cannot agree to a deal, a hearing will be held and an arbitrator will choose one side or the other." [Baltimore Sun]
The Oriole Post picks the O's for fourth in the AL East: "The Orioles seem to have a plan in place and young players to hopefully achieve their goals with. They won't contend in 2010, but if the youngsters play to their potential and the mainstays play as they always have, Andy MacPhail and the organization may a grab a free agent or two in the next off-season to put things seriously into high gear. The starting pitching will need to perform a lot better than last year, the starting lineup doesn't have a bopper, and while the bullpen may be better -- consistency will be the key."
