Slow go on Sano right now

Slow go on Sano right now
When it comes to the Orioles and Dominican shortstop Miguel Angel Sano, two things remain pretty clear at this point. The O's still are very interested in pursuing Sano, who is an international free agent. But, like every other team in the Majors right now, that pursuit is in a holding pattern as the clubs await the results of MLB's investigation to determine if Sano is, in fact, 16 years old. A report surfaced over the weekend that MLB had completed its investigation and was about to...

Is it Tillman time?

Is it Tillman time?
While I am sure that there is more Chris Tillman could learn and more polish he could add to his game in Triple-A the rest of this season, it also seems quite clear by the numbers that he has made major improvements throughout this season. It's time for a change in the O's rotation with Rich Hill out and Chris Tillman in. Tillman is 8-5, 2.42 in 17 starts and is slated to start for Norfolk tonight. Here's hoping his next start after that will be early next week in Baltimore vs. Kansas...
