Steve Melewski writes on the O's in Venezuela: "As the Orioles continue to upgrade their international scouting, the organization is now trying to become more of a player in a nation that has produced many Major Leaguers through the years - Venezuela.
O's Director of Player Development David Stockstill has just returned to Baltimore from a four-nation, 17-day scouting trip that took him to the Dominican, Colombia, Curacao and yes, Venezuela.
He scouted many players over four days in that country. And for the first time in about three and a half years, the Orioles have signed some Venezuelans.
Stockstill said the O's have signed about 40 international players over the last year and 11 are from Venezuela." [masnsports.com]
Dan Connolly examines the switch from third base to shortstop: "As Miguel Tejada attempts to make the switch to third base in 2010 after playing shortstop his entire major league career, he can look to Orioles history for guidance.
Thirteen years ago, another proud and aging superstar made the short but potentially treacherous trip from shortstop to third base at Camden Yards, and did so without difficulty.
It just took time, patience and repetition, said Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr." [Baltimore Sun]
