SARASOTA, Fla. - Everth Cabrera had no idea that he was starting in center field for the Orioles today until approached by reporters at his locker. "Center?" he asked. "That surprises me." Yes, laughter ensued. Cabrera hasn't played center field in the majors and did so in only five games in the minors with Triple-A Tucson in 2012. "I don't care," he said.

VIERA, Fla. - The first time Wilson Ramos crouched behind the plate to catch Max Scherzer, he lasted only three pitches before realizing it was the wrong time to break in a new mitt. The Nationals catcher grabbed his old, broken-in glove and settled back in to begin learning the newest member of the Nats' elite rotation. "Everything's moving," Ramos said with a bit of amazement.

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis said he was not questioning the direction of the team in recent comments he made. But he does understand that 2015 will be a critical season for the organization, which has 11 pending free agents.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - With 23 days remaining until opening day, Nationals manager Matt Williams isn't interested in entertaining conversation about who he plans to give the ball to for the start of the 2015 season. "We've got three off days right before the season," Williams said. "So, at this point, we're running them out there on their turn and if we have to make an adjustment then we can make an adjustment. Right now, we're not thinking about it. We're just making sure they're getting...
