Sunday Bird Droppings: Where it’s the last Sunday with no baseball

Happy Sunday, Camden Chatters! This time next week the Orioles will be two days into the season. We are so close!

That’s right, we’re just four days from Opening Day. Four is, of course, the uniform number worn by legendary manager Earl Weaver. In his honor, kick dirt on every home plate you see today.

The roster is shaping up and despite my pessimism, I’m started to get wonder what this team could do. I mean, everything could go right. Right?

With the season getting close, the links are getting plentiful. Check them out:

Orioles option top prospect Austin Hays to Double-A Bowie - Baltimore Sun
We'll see you soon, Austin! Maybe around May 10th?

Chris Davis a candidate to lead off during regular season - Baltimore Sun
That's...something. Isn't he supposed to hit dingers? I guess leadoff batters can hit dingers too.
