Charlotte Business Journal: Ripken pitching to police
Cal Ripken, Jr. is encouraging cops in Charlotte to become youth league coaches. But the real reason I clipped this article is that it has one of the goofiest pictures of Cal you'll ever see. -zk

Various and sundry from Schmuck, including this news: Reimold will start in left today and the plan is to see how well he handles playing a full 9 innings out there. -zk
Eyeing O's rotation, Britton waits his turn - baltimoresun.com
SO excited about this kid. He seems to have the exact right attitude about his progression. -zk

Mazzone misses his old gig with Braves | Atlanta Braves
“The other day there was a thing where [former Braves starter Kevin] Millwood, who’s with the Orioles now, said he loved throwing twice in-between starts here [when he was with Atlanta]. Of course Dave Trembley said, ‘Well we’re not going to do that.’ Of course he [Trembley] has had too much success." Gee, bitter much, Leo? -duck
Joe Posnanski " Strasburg, Heyward, Stanton
There's just a short line about Brian Matusz in this list of prospects to watch but I included it because Pos calls him "breathtaking." -Stacey
Organizational Rankings: #17 – Baltimore | FanGraphs Baseball
This link was posted in yesterday's comments but for anyone who missed it, it's basically the same song and dance we've been hearing from everyone: "They'd have such hope if they didn't play in that behemoth of a division." Fan Graphs has been doing three articles at a time each team as they work their way through rankings, so also check out what they think of the O's current and future talent. -Stacey

Whitt57, he's a hoot.
Nick isn’t exactly tearing it up but at least he’s over .300
Gee, way to keep the expectations bar low there, huh?

Hey Charlotte Business Journal, ever heard of “resize”?
Re Whitt57: “Crip almighty” may be my new favorite exclamation.
Leo Mazzone can go take a leap. I understand that the O’s organization was a mess when he was here and we hurt his widdle feelings when we fired his best friend Sammy P, but there have been plenty of men who have come and gone in Baltimore without still taking cheap shots at the club some THREE YEARS after leaving. Grow up and accept the fact that your time here exposed you as just another ordinary pitching coach who was as good as the talent he was given to coach.
I like that the wording of Stacey’s photo caption gives the impression that Lou participated in the fantasy draft himself. I’d like to think that even Lou is reasonable enough to only pick himself as Mr. Irrelevant.

Lou Montenez was our celebrity participant
Didn’t you know? He kept telling us to deal with it.

Huuuuuuuuh
“communication skills and his approach to player development”
Does that sound more or less like just internal tension to anyone else? I don’t know that the Orioles made any particularly noticeable mistakes in terms of placing players at particular levels, and Stockstill was technically in charge of the recent farm system renaissance.
huh.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
I’d give the credit to Joe Jordan and Andy McPhail for the renaissance.

agreed here
Those are the two key components of our farm system turnaround. Good trades by AM and better drafting by JJ. Although scouting has been crucial as most the players we got from trades turned out quite well.

Oh, absolutely
but I doubt that Stockstill doesn’t deserve some credit, too.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
According to Schmuck
the brothers are just switching positions. I’m not sure how much internal tension there can be if they’re giving the job to his brother. I’m going to assume that the one that was in charge of international scouting had a reason to stop traveling for a while until I hear something definite.

Are they twins?
If so, why even bother telling us?

Very, very surprising
He’s been the main media contact for MiLB stuff for the O’s.
Andy really does play his cards close to the vest – anyone remember any indication Andy was less than thrilled with his performance?

Is there no end ....
…. to the articles in the archive in which I say I think DCab is finally gonna make it?
Criminy. This is like the 5th or 6th one.

Am I the only one amused
by the coincidence that the first archived article is about Javy Lopez and that today we actually have a news article about him?
It definitely beats out all the Cabrera posts

it's still creepy

Leo, shut the fuck up.
Your toxic personality is the reason why nobody wants to hire your sorry ass.

It is interesting...
that he still does not have another coaching job after all this time. He was almost universally considered the best pitching coach in baseball when the Orioles hired him.
