Matt Wieters continues to impress, with a hit versus the Twins on Sunday to break up a no-hitter in the 9th inning. Middle reliever Danys Baez also pitched well over several innings in the outing.
MLB.com reports that manager Dave Trembley is no closer to making any roster decisions, but the rotation is starting to take shape, at least by attrition: pitchers John Parrish and Brad Hennessey will not be healthy enough to compete for a slot by Opening Day. Major areas of concern include the bullpen, charged with backing up a young rotation, and with veteran utility players Ryan Freel, Jolbert Cabrera, Ty Wigginton and Chris Gomes.
Koji Uehara lost his second start, vs. the Mets yesterday, bringing expectations back to Earth. The O’s, however, scored 8 runs in the game, with Lou Montanez recording three hits and a two-run homer by Ty Wiggington. The Orioles are now 6-5 in spring competition, and will have Brian Bass on the mound to face the Red Sox and Clay Bucholz today.
