Wednesday Bird Droppings: Is it really still January?

Greetings Camden Chatters. We're 68 days from Opening Day, which is still entirely too long. There have actually been two players to wear 68 for the Orioles. Parker Bridwell donned it last year, and in 2013 it belonged to Alex Burnett.

Do you think the Orioles have any more moves in them? I sure hope so, if only for the opportunity to talk about something. Until then, let's talk about the links:

Do you think the Orioles need another starting pitcher? This article says they won't spend the money now that they have Mark Trumbo. But if they would, would you want Jason Hammel?

Is today your birthday? Happy birthday! You have three birthday buddies, most notably Wally Bunker, who turns 72 today. Mr. Bunker was a starting pitcher for the Orioles from 1963-68, pretty good years to be an Oriole. Also born today are Richie Lewis and Francisco Melendez, two short timers who played for the Orioles in 1998 and 1989 respectively.
