Winter Meetings begin...at least for O's

The Orioles contingent is settling in at the Anatole Hotel in Dallas, where the Winter Meetings will officially get underway tomorrow. They will get underway for the Orioles a little later today, with an official announcement of some front office changes.

Look for Lee Thomas to be introduced as one of Dan Duquette's chief lieutenants and some other personnel updates. The Orioles already have introduced scouting director Gary Rajsich and moved some people around, but we'll have a better idea of who's doing what at the meetings in a few hours.

Dan Connolly and I are en route to Dallas right now and will arrive at the hotel in the early afternoon. We'll be bringing you constant updates and interviews from the Winter Meetings all week here at Orioles Insider and on Twitter.

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.
