Dean, is Billy Rowell finally starting to get it? He's having not a horrible year and maybe some of that promise is starting to show. What do you think?

Thanks as always for the updates.

So what's the deal with Bluefield? Did MacPhail decide not to field a Rookie Level team going forward? It's a shame they are leaving Bluefield after 53 years. Especially after they just adopted those cool new caps this past season.

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.
