Orioles scout will be honored

Jim Howard, the Orioles' long-time professional scout, was just named a 2010 inductee into the Mid Atlantic Scouts Association Hall of Fame.

Howard will be honored at a Nov. 13 banquet at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen.

Howard has scouted for the Orioles since 1988, including a year and a half stint as the team's advanced scout.

The Orioles need to take a serious look at their entire scouting organization. They should probably start from scratch and fire everyone.

About the bloggers

A Baltimore native, Dan Connolly has been covering sports for 14 years, and baseball and the Orioles for 10 seasons, including the past six with The Sun. His first year covering baseball on a daily basis was Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season as a player. It's believed that is just a coincidence.

Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer.
