Michael Aubrey has cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.
Aubrey didn't get into many games this spring because of a minor medical procedure on his back and a groin injury suffered while running the bases in Tampa. He eventually was sent to the minor league camp without giving himself a real chance to crack the 25-man roster.
It was a long shot to begin with, but he didn't even go down swinging.
Now it's up to Norfolk manager Gary Allenson to find at-bats for...
Manager Dave Trembley met with reporters a few minutes ago and indicated that he'll reveal his opening lineup after the workout.
That's what happens when you ask nicely.
If Nolan Reimold plays first base this season, it will happen "way down the road," according to Trembley.
"We're just kicking the tires on that," he said, adding that first base would be another way to get Reimold's bat in the lineup. It also shows how much Felix Pie has progressed in the eyes of the...
Craig Tatum is taking throws at first base.
Should I read anything into that?
Kidding.
Miguel Tejada said he's become a lot more comfortable at third base since the start of spring training.
"That first game, the intrasquad game that we played, I felt a little bit different," he said. "Now I feel like I'm ready to go."
Tejada heated up at the plate over the final weeks of camp, as we expected him to do, and raised his average to .274. All of a sudden, the ball's exploding off his...
Brooks Robinson and Boog Powell will throw out the ceremonial first pitches before Friday's home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Orioles are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1970 World Series championship. Having Brooks and Boog together on Friday is a wonderful and appropriate gesture.
Boog was the American League's MVP. Brooks was the Series MVP.
Perfect.
Gates open at noon. The Orioles will take batting practice from 12:25 p.m. to 1:25 p.m. The Blue Jays will take BP...

It must seem strange for Orioles manager Dave Trembley to be overseeing a workout on the day that most teams are starting their seasons.
"You play the schedule as it's given to you," Trembley said. "Just like I tell people, I wish I was 29 again, 6-3 and had a full head of hair. Not going to happen. No sense crying over...
It's become the most interesting battle in the AL East.
Forget the Yankees and Red Sox (and I keep trying). Orioles fans seem more worked up about Felix Pie unseating Nolan Reimold as the starting left fielder.
Has he really done it?
Reimold was brought along slowly this spring because of the Achilles surgery. He told me that he wouldn't be 100 percent until mid-summer, though he ran the bases much better as the Orioles were preparing to break camp.
Reimold also started to look more...
