Young embracing leadership role for Orioles

Young embracing leadership role for Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. - The mentoring began right after the introductions. Eric Young Jr. walked into the Orioles spring training clubhouse after agreeing to a minor league deal, sought out the younger players and began the balancing act of competing against them and offering his assistance. This is the reputation that Young brought with him along with his equipment bag. One of the really good guys in baseball. A pure professional. A public relations staff's dream. Young may not break camp with the...

Critiquing camp again as O's creep closer to opening day (updated)

Critiquing camp again as O's creep closer to opening day (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles get their first and only off-day of spring training, closing the Ed Smith Stadium complex and encouraging a mental and physical break from the grind. Cuts may not happen today, but more are coming now that the Orioles moved past Saturday's split-squad games. They can afford to continue thinning out the camp roster. Five catchers remain and fewer are needed as pitchers are optioned and reassigned. However, Austin Wynns is shut down, leaving only four who are...

Diaz and Stewart among latest Orioles camp cuts (updated)

Diaz and Stewart among latest Orioles camp cuts (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles pared seven players from their spring training roster this afternoon, including outfielders Yusniel Diaz and DJ Stewart. Pitcher Dillon Tate was optioned to Double-A Bowie while Stewart and pitcher Luis Ortiz were optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Diaz, catcher Martin Cervenka and pitchers Sean Gilmartin and Bo Schultz have been reassigned to minor league camp because they aren't on the 40-man roster. Diaz was one of the camp standouts, going 11-for-33 with three...

Hearing from Rogers and Villar during today's game (updated)

Hearing from Rogers and Villar during today's game (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Josh Rogers doesn't know whether the Orioles are viewing him as rotation material or a possibility for long relief. It won't change his pace and mission to get as many outs as he can and let the decision-makers wrestle with his role. Rogers was charged with two runs this afternoon in 3 2/3 innings, the last on Drew Butera's single off minor leaguer Tanner Chleborad. He allowed five hits, walked none and struck out four. Phil Gosselin homered off Rogers with one out in the...

Hyde on Cobb, Davis, aggression, outfield and more (O's down 5-2)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Alex Cobb threw four innings this morning in his simulated game on Camden Yards South and Chris Davis didn't report any discomfort in his left hip, which puts him in line to return to the lineup after Monday's off-day. "(Davis) swung the bat good. Cobb looked great. So yeah, real productive," said manager Brandon Hyde. Cobb's next start is put on hold after the arrival Friday night of his baby girl. "I watched the first few innings and ball was coming out great," Hyde...

Cobb throws simulated game (and other notes)

Cobb throws simulated game (and other notes)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Alex Cobb threw a simulated game this morning on Camden Yards South in lieu of making his next start. Cobb is having his schedule adjusted after wife Kelly gave birth to a daughter Friday night. In two spring starts, Cobb allowed four runs and three hits in two-thirds of an inning in his debut against the Rays, and one run and two hits over three innings in his follow-up outing versus the Pirates. Chris Davis participated in the simulated game, hitting on the field to test his...

Rogers ready for first spring start
SARASOTA, Fla. - Josh Rogers is starting today for the Orioles, so turn off the pitch clock. The spring's fastest worker doesn't need any prodding. Manager Brandon Hyde loves Rogers' pace, but there's more to him. There's also performance and personality. "Besides the tempo, which is unbelievable, aggressive. Attacks hitters. Multiple pitches," Hyde said, rattling off some of Rogers' other appealing qualities. "Unpredictability in what he's going to throw. A little bit of deception. I...

Bleier: "I feel great right now" (O's lose 6-1, Hyde quotes added)

Bleier: "I feel great right now" (O's lose 6-1, Hyde quotes added)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The wait is over for Richard Bleier. So, too, are the requests for updates on his recovery from lat surgery and progress toward getting back on a mound. Bleier made his spring debut tonight by starting the top of the fifth inning against the Yankees. He allowed three runs - only one earned - and three hits with one strikeout. Manager Brandon Hyde removed him at 19 pitches, including 15 strikes, with a runner on first base and two outs. Two soft doubles poked to right field. A...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis did some hitting this afternoon in the indoor cage at the Ed Smith Stadium complex after undergoing an MRI yesterday on his sore left hip. Tests came back clean and Davis passed along the improvements to manager Brandon Hyde. "He hit today and he feels a lot better and I think he's going to be in there probably after the off-day (Monday)," Hyde said. "The trend is going up with how he feels and he should be in there after the off-day at...

Dwight Smith Jr. "ecstatic" to join Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. - Dwight Smith Jr. has reported to the Orioles after yesterday's trade and is waiting for his first chance to get in the lineup. Smith was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays earlier this week and the Orioles acquired him for international signing bonus slot funds. He's wearing No. 35. "I was surprised when it happened," he said. "When I heard the news I was ecstatic to come over here and just get the opportunity to play and just help in whatever way I can." Whether...

Is Hays outrunning the outfield competition?

Is Hays outrunning the outfield competition?
SARASOTA, Fla. - As Austin Hays broke toward a fly ball in right-center field Thursday afternoon, he fought the elements but already had conquered his fears. The potential damage to a surgically repaired left ankle never crossed Hays' mind as he made a sprawling catch against the Pirates. A sprint and landing on the rock-hard warning track produced a highlight play and a broadest of smiles across his face. No pain or repercussions. "Off the bat it was pretty high, so I was running thinking...

Orioles acquire Dwight Smith Jr. from Blue Jays
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles turned more international signing bonus slots into a trade acquisition, landing outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. from the Blue Jays. The announcement came this afternoon. Smith has slashed .293/.365/.467 in 47 games with the Blue Jays over the past two seasons. He was selected in the first round (53rd overall) of the 2011 draft out of McIntosh (Ga.) High School.

Wrapping up a 4-2 win

Wrapping up a 4-2 win
SARASOTA, Fla. - Gabriel Ynoa became the first Orioles pitcher this spring to work four innings. Did anyone pick him in the pool? How many people remembered that he was still in camp? Ynoa was the fourth pitcher used by manager Brandon Hyde in today's 4-2 win and he blanked the Red Sox on one hit. He walked none and struck out three. "I was not really expecting to go four innings today," Ynoa said through interpreter Ramón Alarcón, "but they gave me the opportunity and I went ahead...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis underwent an MRI on his left hip this morning, marked absent at the complex as teammates arrived and readied for pregame stretch and drills. Davis hasn't played since Sunday because of a strained hip flexor, which occurred after he reached for a throw up the line. He's been labeled as day-to-day with slight improvements. "He is feeling better today, but we're doing a precautionary MRI this morning," said manager Brandon Hyde. "We just...

Kline says he can learn from yesterday's walk-off home run
SARASOTA, Fla. - The walk back to the clubhouse stings, no matter the date or relative insignificance of the game. Branden Kline is a competitor. He's a proud young man. And he really wishes that he could undo the pitch he threw yesterday to the Pirates' Cole Tucker leading off the bottom of the ninth inning at LECOM Park. A fastball in a 2-0 count with the score tied. Tucker clearing the right field fence and circling the bases. Players leaving the field as fans head toward the exits. "I...

Many points to consider when trying to project 25-man roster

Many points to consider when trying to project 25-man roster
SARASOTA, Fla. - Before I can get a stronger grip on the 25-man roster that will be unveiled on opening day in the Bronx, I still need to know how many pitchers are heading north. Is it a 12- or 13-man pitching staff? Does manager Brandon Hyde envision carrying four starters until a fifth is needed on April 10? The mocks are murky without this information. The position battles continue in the outfield, at third base and behind the plate. I'm giving Rule 5 pick Richie Martin the starting job at...
