Camden Depot: Would you pay more for tickets if the Orioles paid more for players?

School of Roch: Teams still coveting Orioles' young pitching, looking at tonight's matchup
Mr. Kubatko says that everyone wants our pitching prospects. Stay strong, Mr. Duquette.
Orioles.com: Ubaldo pleased with bullpen session
