Sure sign of spring: Autograph event at Dempsey's

Sure sign of spring: Autograph event at Dempsey's
Weather got you down? Tired of snow, ice and cold? I can empathize. In fact, I've had to make due for the past two storms with a snow shovel that's about to give up the ghost. Home Depot and Lowe's act as if it's never snowed in Baltimore in March. And all those bulbs and fertilizer don't exactly do a good job of moving the white stuff. But spring is coming. I promise. And I'll bet I can make you feel like Orioles season is just a little bit closer. Dempsey's Brew Pub and Restaurant at...

Williams wastes little time reintroducing Zimmerman to first base (with camp photos)

Williams wastes little time reintroducing Zimmerman to first base (with camp photos)
VIERA, Fla. - Ryan Zimmerman has traded his third baseman's glove for a first baseman's mitt - and last season's crash course at a new position for more intensive hands-on instruction. Though Nationals position players aren't required to be in camp until tomorrow, Zimmerman arrived at Space Coast Stadium just before 8 a.m. this morning. About 90 minutes later, even before pitchers and catchers headed over to their scheduled workouts, Zimmerman trotted out to first base to reacquaint himself...

Williams on powerhouse rotation Nationals have assembled

Williams on powerhouse rotation Nationals have assembled
VIERA, Fla. - When you've got the kind of pitching horses the Nationals possess in their rotation, hardly a day will go by that someone won't be asking manager Matt Williams to weigh in on just how good his starting five really is. The acquisition of free agent Max Scherzer, who signed a seven-year, $210 million deal last month, strengthened an already deep unit, pushing 15-game winner Tanner Roark to an undetermined role out of the bullpen. Opposing hitters aren't going to get many breaks...

Gonzalez, Fister and Zimmermann throw first bullpen sessions of spring (with workout photos)

Gonzalez, Fister and Zimmermann throw first bullpen sessions of spring (with workout photos)
VIERA, Fla. - Jordan Zimmermann took a break from his first bullpen session of the spring Sunday morning, exiting the fenced-in area where the 'pen mounds are located and making a pair of hard right turns to get to the water jug. As he was en route to quench his thirst, a fan next to quench his thirst, the guy next to the jug called out, "That (18-inning National League Division Series) game was a heartbreaker." Zimmermann offered a half-hearted smile, rolled his eyes and sarcastically...

Kieboom savoring every minute of his first major league camp

Kieboom savoring every minute of his first major league camp
VIERA, Fla. - It's not hard to spot the guys at spring training who aren't long for camp. Every clubhouse is full of guys who fill a necessary role: to log innings once starting pitchers and key relievers have finished throwing their allotted pitches, or take the field or grab a bat late in games when the regulars are done their work for the day. Many are wide-eyed and baby-faced. Most wear numbers you'd find stretched across the back of a burly football offensive lineman. Most are crammed...

With 2016 option picked up, Williams gets back to business (with Rizzo comments)

With 2016 option picked up, Williams gets back to business (with Rizzo comments)
VIERA, Fla. - Nationals manager Matt Williams led the first day of spring training workouts for pitchers and catchers on Saturday, just a short time after the club announced it had exercised its 2016 option on his contract. That decision means Williams, who skippered the Nats to their second National League East title in three seasons and won NL Manager of the Year honors in his rookie campaign on the bench, will be with the club for at least two more seasons.

Sights from the first day of Nationals workouts (with video and photos)
VIERA, Fla. - At 10:39 a.m. this morning, a few seconds before the horn signaling the first drill of Nationals spring training sounded, right-hander Max Scherzer uncorked a throw toward catcher Wilson Ramos in the area where the first bullpen sessions were convening. Spring training 2015 was under way. It was cloudy and cool at the Space Coast Stadium complex the Nationals call home. Players made the short hike from the clubhouse to the practice fields a little more briskly than usual, owing to...

Zimmermann on a winter of rumors and prospects for an extension
VIERA, Fla. - There were times this offseason when Jordan Zimmermann couldn't help but wonder if his career in Washington, D.C., was over. Try as he might to stick to his usual winter routines, there were constant reminders that he was entering his walk year, that his pending free agency might result in the Nationals dealing him if they were unable or unwilling to come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension Zimmermann returned to his native Wisconsin and tried to immerse himself in...

Henneman has lived the duration of "60 Years of Orioles Magic"

Henneman has lived the duration of "60 Years of Orioles Magic"
When the Orioles were seeking a writer to chronicle their first six decades in Baltimore, longtime journalist Jim Henneman was a logical choice, one found in their own backyard. The 79-year-old Henneman's lifetime practically mirrors the Orioles' tenure in Charm City. As a youth, he worked in the clubhouse at Oriole Park, home of the team during its Triple-A run from 1946-53. He attended the 1954 parade down Charles Street welcoming the former St. Louis Browns to their new roost, and was in...
