PrintMatusz wants Bedard
"That would be another great addition if we could end up landing him," Matusz said. "That's a guy that I could look up to, a veteran left-handed pitcher, someone I could learn from." I guess no one told him that when you ask Bedard a question all you get back is some dumb ass answer. -Stacey
Big League Stew Blogbook: Baltimore Orioles
Big League Stew is putting together a blog directory for all 30 baseball teams and the Orioles piece has been released. Even though I know it's alphabetical, I dig that we're first on the list since we're obviously the best. -Stacey
Project to improve drainage in O's dugouts approved - baltimoresun.com
The Maryland Stadium Authority voted Tuesday to approve a $350,000 project to improve the dugout and tunnel drainage in Oriole Park. Thank goodness. Remember how gross? -Stacey

Harry Pavlidis at THT takes a look at rookie pitchers in six categories: Fastest pitches, slowest pitches, whiff rate, ground balls, pop ups, and most pitches in the strike zone. Koji placed fifth in pop-up rate with .222 and Brad Bergesen placed 2nd in pitches in the strike zone. Bergy threw his pitches in the strike zone over 65% of the time. -Stacey
Amber wants to Get it On
Calm down gentlemen of Camden Chat, she's talking about the Orioles getting on with their improvement in 2010. -Stacey
Have you noticed...
Steve Melewski talks about a bunch of stuff, most notably that the Orioles have 9 players on their roster drafted in the 1st or 2nd round: Guthrie, Matusz, Tillman, Aubrey, Roberts, Reimold, Jones, Markakis, Wieters. -Stacey
Balance can add up to production

As duck posted earlier, the O's and Luke Scott have agreed to a 1 year, $4.05M contract. Additionally, the Orioles and Jeremy Guthrie have exchanged arbitration numbers. Guthrie submitted $3.625M and the O's submitted $2.3M. They can still reach an agreement before the hearing in February. -Stacey

2009 Stats for all Orioles on the 40 man and the non-roster invitees
For your enjoyment. -Stacey
In ex-Orioles news, the Rangers and Chris Ray agreed to a 1 year, $975K contract while George Sherrill and the Dodgers avoided going to arbitration with a $4.5M deal.
There's not a man who knows him who wouldn't swear for his integrity and honesty and give testimony to his consideration of others. He's an extraordinary human being, which is important, and the world's greatest third baseman of all time, which is incidental." - John Steadman about Brooks Robinson, who has been on my mind of late.

Balance is a good thing
But we have a black hole at the bottom of the order. Maybe Jones and Reimold can hit 30 HR this year?
The flod game was horrible
I was actually there, and it was the only game that I left early in like two seasons! There was just no hope to win the game. Players had nothing to do but sign autographs. Adam Jones signed a bunch, but alas, on the 1st base side while I was on the 3rd base side. I got Cleveland #32 autograph though.

Bedard only gives dumbass answers to reporters.
An that’s because they ask him dumbass questions.
I suspect he’d be happy to talk to younger players, particularly since he himself was getting advice form the likes of Kris Benson.

Yes well I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there, zk.

you were very salty this morning with your open thread commentary

FYI
I just added two links to the bottom of the post, the non-roster invitees and 2009 stats.

The 2009 stats spreadsheet is locked
When I try to view it, a message appears stating that I don’t have permission to see it.
thanks for giving up the secret, kba26
the next time you logout will be your last.

I'm emailing your professor links to time-stamped posts
coinciding with times you were in class. But please don’t do the same to me with my boss. Kthxbye.
I've been caught on camden chat during class before.
I was mostly just mocked for being an orioles fan.
They both work now
Sorry about that, I clicked that anyone could view but forgot to click save. Then I went and did actual work for awhile and couldn’t get back to fix them.

What? Actual work?
This close to Spring Training?

espn mentioned that the M's giving Hernandez a multiyear deal means Lee's stay will be short
well duh. no kidding. he’ll be playing the yanksox in two years.
For your viewing pleasure
Taken from Mister Irrelevent, who got it from SI Vault’s Twitter (which I didn’t know existed and which I’ll be following as soon as I get home).

Andy MacPhail is gonna move in the next week or so:
Andy MacPhail, the team’s president of baseball operations, said Tuesday that the Hot Stove season has pretty much gone as he’d anticipated and that the Orioles are still in the market for either a first baseman or a third baseman.
“We think there are some pretty good players still on the board at those positions,” said MacPhail, who signed Garrett Atkins earlier this offseason. “We’ve done pretty much what we said we were going to do. We said we would let things percolate and then get back to it. I would think that we’d put the finishing touches on the roster here over the next seven or 10 days.”
Also, Jake Arrieta gets an invite to ST, which makes me happy inside.

Bring back Tejada to play third
and move Atkins to first. Following solid first half performances, Bell n Snyder can be called up after the break, where the Birds make a wildcard run behind ace Brian Matusz. Package Tejada and Atkins (who both had resurgent first halves), David Hernandez, and Brandon Erbe for Adrian Gonzales. Birds now faves to win Series!
Don’t take any of that serious…unless of course, you were going to.
The autograph sessions
will be going on all day as opposed to just two hours. The format sent out in an email said that players will be alternating at the various auto stations every hour. Each line is limited to a 250 person capacity.
Otherwise they just want you to spend money…
