Showalter quotes after today's workout (plus pics and vids)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles held a pitchers meeting at 1:15 p.m. today in the same room used for manager Buck Showalter's post-workout sessions with the media. Alfredo Aceves walked through the door at 1:01 p.m. and made a U-turn back into the hallway. "Alfredo's early to the meeting," Showalter said. "Nice going." Aceves is determined to make a favorable impression in camp, and not just with his arm. Suk-min Yoon and Ubaldo Jimenez threw bullpen sessions this morning while reporters...

Early notes from camp

Early notes from camp
SARASOTA, Fla. - Miguel Gonzalez remains scheduled to throw a full bullpen session Friday afternoon. Gonzalez's back feels good following yesterday's 25-pitch session. "I feel great. No problems. I'm ready to work with the team now," he said. "I had it before and I knew exactly what I needed to do for a couple of days." Nick Markakis shaved the rest of his facial hair and his head. We almost didn't recognize him as he passed through the clubhouse. Same with Jemile Weeks, who cut...

The week in review

The week in review
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles held their first workout for pitchers and catchers - and the assorted position players who reported early - exactly one week ago. So much has happened since that morning. On the same day that the Orioles signed Korean pitcher Suk-min Yoon to a three-year contract, they reached agreement with pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez on a four-year deal. Yoon will be the first Korean-born player to suit up for the Orioles. Jimenez is the first free agent pitcher from outside the...

Urrutia withheld from workout (with videos and photos)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Outfielder Henry Urrutia didn't work out today because of a stomach illness. Urrutia was late getting on the field, missing the pre-workout stretch.

Taking another look at the pitching

Taking another look at the pitching
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles reached agreement on a four-year deal with Ubaldo Jimenez, and I still have fans asking whether they also could sign Ervin Santana. They seem set with starters. Let's not get greedy. Manager Buck Showalter can do some maneuvering with his starting candidates due to openings in the bullpen and having guys with options. The only certainties among relievers appear to be Tommy Hunter, Darren O'Day, Ryan Webb and Brian Matusz. Though Matusz will work out as a...

Almanzar and Peguero were the only two players who hadn't reported to camp by this afternoon. Update: Peguero is here. The first full-squad workout takes place on Wednesday. Will it be anti-climatic, considering that most of the team has been working out? "It's going to be like the first day of...

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles are back on their normal schedule today following yesterday's golf outing. The only real change comes when they introduce Korean pitcher Suk-min Yoon to the media at noon. There also could be confirmation on the four-year, $50 million deal with Ubaldo Jimenez, depending on whether he's taken and passed his physical. That may be ambitious.

Hearing more from Showalter following today's workout
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter knew that reporters were waiting for third baseman Manny Machado to enter the interview room today, so he offered to cut short his post-workout session with the media. Machado had to meet with the training staff, shower and put on his street clothes, which gave Showalter a few extra minutes to address a variety of subjects. Let's start with Showalter's refusal to pester Machado every day with questions about the knee. "He knows how much we...
