Orioles sign Aceves to minor league deal (with Duquette quote)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles added another arm to their bullpen today by signing former Red Sox reliever Alfredo Aceves to a minor league deal with a spring training invitation. Aceves has also made 15 starts among his 194 major league appearances over six seasons.

Aceves, 31, is 30-14 with a 3.69 ERA and 29 saves, including 25 in 2012. Last year, he went 4-1 with a...

Delmon Young works out at mini-camp

Delmon Young works out at mini-camp
SARASOTA, Fla. - Delmon Young hit in the indoor cage this morning, took a few rounds of batting practice outside and shagged fly balls in left field. He later met with Buck Showalter after passing by the manager's office without a shirt and happily proclaiming that he weighed in at 223 pounds. It was a full day for Young, who signed a minor league deal earlier this week and decided to stop by the complex to work out and meet his coaches and a few of his new teammates. Young, 28, said he had...

Now he's ready to resume a career that's been stalled by injuries and rotten luck. "I'm excited to feel like I can be good again," he said. "Hopefully, everything works out and I can stay healthy and be productive. And if those things happen, it should be a good year. "I'm pretty confident that it's good enough to be...
