The Kubel question

The Kubel question
Before I dive into more research for today's edition of "The Mid-Atlantic Sports Report" on MASN, I wanted to tackle the inquires concerning Diamondbacks outfielder Jason Kubel and the possibility that the Orioles will trade for him. If you followed the Winter Meetings closely, you know that the Orioles discussed Kubel with Arizona officials. It was reported that they had interest in him earlier this month, and it's being reported again today that they're interested in him. What do I...

Tillman time

Tillman time
If you thought that winning a career-high nine games and posting an ERA under 3.00 last year would have Chris Tillman making assumptions about his place in the Orioles' rotation, well, guess again. Those nine wins are two more than his major league total coming into the 2012 season. He's out of minor league options, another point in his favor. And yet, Tillman plans on reporting to spring training as if he's fighting for a job. "I think I've got to go with that mindset," Tillman said....

Everything seems OK with O'Day (Hendrickson update)

Everything seems OK with O'Day (Hendrickson update)
When the voting for Most Valuable Oriole was announced on Sept. 30, we learned that Adam Jones had won the award for the second consecutive season. Jim Johnson and Matt Wieters also received first-place votes to finish second and third, respectively. Wei-Yin Chen and Nick Markakis also were named on a few ballots. No mention of reliever Darren O'Day. You could make a strong case for O'Day, who won a career-high seven games in eight decisions, posted a 2.28 ERA in 69 appearances and allowed...

McGregor talks about Weaver

McGregor talks about Weaver
I just got off the phone with former Orioles pitcher Scott McGregor, who was on the cruise ship when Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver passed away early Saturday morning. The passengers were headed back to Fort Lauderdale from Haiti on the final leg of the trip. McGregor received a call around 1:30 a.m. that Weaver had collapsed on the floor of his cabin. McGregor stood in the hallway while a physician spent more than 30 minutes trying to revive Weaver. "Basically, for the most part, he had...

A Teagarden party

A Teagarden party
Does anyone know what happened to Ronny Paulino? What about his car? Paulino was the Orioles' backup catcher on opening day, but they optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk on July 15 to make room for catcher Taylor Teagarden, who was coming off the 60-day disabled list. And the rest is history of sorts. The Orioles re-signed Teagarden this winter, and he's going to be their backup catcher if he stays healthy. Not much drama behind the plate. Teagarden began the season on the disabled list...

Bundy and Gausman: Opposites attract

Bundy and Gausman: Opposites attract
The two names are attached in most conversations. A reporter mentions Dylan Bundy, and Kevin Gausman is soon referenced. And it works the other way, too. Can't have one without the other. Both pitchers were chosen by the Orioles with the fourth overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft - Bundy in 2011 out of Owasso (Okla.) High School and Gausman in 2012 out of LSU. They're the top pitching prospects in the organization, they're expected to begin the upcoming season at Double-A Bowie and...

More from Showalter on the passing of Earl Weaver

More from Showalter on the passing of Earl Weaver
Orioles manager Buck Showalter met with reporters behind the main stage at the Baltimore Convention Center after signing autographs and appearing at two fan forums. It's been a busy day. Showalter has been deeply moved by the passing of Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver, who had an open invitation every spring training to come inside the clubhouse and talk to the players and coaches. Showalter would absorb every word like a sponge. Even if he knew the answer ahead of time, he still wanted to...

Reimold healthy and ready to play

Reimold healthy and ready to play
Nolan Reimold returned to Baltimore on Jan. 10 and underwent X-rays on his neck that showed the bone was fused. He continues to work out and is full-go for spring training. "I don't have any restrictions," he said. "I can do what I need to do. And that's pretty much the last update. I can do what I want. "Pretty much when the bone was fused, (the physician) said I didn't have any restrictions. I guess it's kind of a comfort level with me, diving or whatever. I don't expect to be...

Hearing from Machado and a statement from Davey Johnson (and crowd note)

Hearing from Machado and a statement from Davey Johnson (and crowd note)
Manny Machado will report to spring training next month as the Orioles' starting third baseman, and it appears that he'll stay at that position during the workouts and games. Asked whether he would take ground balls at shortstop, the position he played as a professional before joining the Orioles in August, Machado replied, "I talked to Buck (Showalter) and I think we're just going to keep it at third base. I'll keep working at third. I never played third and I have to keep working, and...

Jones on Wieters and Weaver

Jones on Wieters and Weaver
Center fielder Adam Jones joked today at FanFest that he's in catcher Matt Wieter's ear about signing a contract extension, "but he's got Boras." That would be super-agent Scott Boras, who usually prefers that his clients test the free agent waters. Wieters agreed to a $5.5 million contract yesterday. He's got two more arbitration years remaining. "I'd like him up here," Jones said. "He's a fixture in this city. He's our leader behind the plate, he's a leader on this team. I...

More from Duquette on Earl Weaver
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette shared his thoughts on Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver, who passed away last night at 82. "I have to be grateful that Earl was with us for the legends series and we got a chance to spend time with him, like every single statue unveiling," Duquette said. "He was terrific and his simplicity and the clarity of his leadership and his passion for baseball, he's unmatched. And he's a treasure for the Orioles and we're so grateful that we had the...

More quotes from FanFest
The Orioles haven't made a final decision on Mark Hendrickson, but it appears that they're going to invite him to camp and let him compete for a job in the bullpen. Manager Buck Showalter and executive vice president Dan Duquette continue to discuss it. Hendrickson threw at the minicamp on Wednesday, breaking out his new sidearm delivery. The Orioles remain intrigued by it. Players are starting to filter into the backstage area at the Baltimore Convention Center. I'll pass along a few...

Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver passes away (updated)

Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver passes away (updated)
On the day that the Orioles are holding their annual FanFest, news has spread through the Baltimore Convention Center that Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver passed away last night. He was 82.

He won four American League pennants and one World Series, and compiled a 1,480-1,060 record. The Orioles honored Weaver with a statue unveiling on...

Checking on Britton and Hammel before today's FanFest

Checking on Britton and Hammel before today's FanFest
Has it really been a year since I sat behind the main stage for FanFest at the Baltimore Convention Center and cranked out a blog entry about the Orioles' reported interest in reliever Luis Ayala? There wasn't much enthusiasm for that rumor, but Ayala became an integral part of the Orioles' sensational bullpen last season, posting a 2.64 ERA in 66 games. News broke during FanFest 2010 that the Orioles were bringing back Miguel Tejada, after I kept insisting that ship had sailed. The...

Wieters says "it's a good feeling" to have contract agreement

Wieters says "it's a good feeling" to have contract agreement
Rather than try to convince reporters at spring training that he wasn't upset with the club's decision to renew his contract, as he did in 2012, catcher Matt Wieters is able to put all the money talk behind him before reporting to the Ed Smith Stadium complex next month. Wieters agreed today to a $5.5 million deal for the upcoming season in his first year of arbitration eligibility. No controversies, no threat of a hearing. "It's a good feeling," Wieters said tonight at the Maryland...

Duquette talks about contract agreements (salary figures exchanged)
The Orioles are down to three unsigned arbitration-eligible players after reaching contract agreements today with catcher Matt Wieters, first baseman Chris Davis, and pitchers Troy Patton and Brian Matusz. "We started out with 12 in the process and we have nine signed so far, so I guess we're three-quarters of the way home, right?" said executive vice president Dan Duquette. The big winners were Wieters ($5.5 million) and Davis ($3.3 million). "I'm real happy we got agreements with...

Orioles avoid arbitration with Patton, Wieters, Davis and Matusz

Orioles avoid arbitration with Patton, Wieters, Davis and Matusz
The Orioles and left-hander Troy Patton have agreed to an $815,000 contract with awards and performance bonuses to avoid salary arbitration, according to his agents. Patton, who's represented by CAA Baseball, made $483,500 last season while going 1-0 with a 2.43 ERA in 54 games. Left-handers hit .212 against him. Teams have until 1 p.m. to reach agreements with their arbitration-eligible players before the two sides exchange figures, with hearing dates set up next month. Executive vice...

Leftovers for breakfast
Yesterday proved to be one of the busiest days of the offseason, with the press conference for executive vice president Dan Duquette and manager Buck Showalter followed by a stop inside the Orioles' clubhouse to interview players taking part in the minicamp, pitcher Miguel Gonzalez confirming that he wouldn't pitch for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic, rosters being announced for the WBC and news that second baseman Brian Roberts underwent sports hernia surgery last month.

Roberts recovered from sports hernia surgery

Roberts recovered from sports hernia surgery
Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts revealed tonight that he underwent sports hernia surgery on Dec. 20 similar to the procedure that two of his teammates endured over the past year. He's resumed workouts in Sarasota and said he's feeling good, with no concerns about his availability for the start of spring training. Dr. William Meyers performed the surgery in Philadelphia, just as he did with Nick Markakis last January and Brian Matusz in October. Roberts consulted with both players, who...
