O's: Quick Tillman update
Chris Tillman, who has been battling some back stiffness, played catch today and participated in all fielding drills. He is scheduled to resume throwing off a mound tomorrow.
About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.

Here's a bit of trivia that should show how the O's have performed lately. I got this from Tom Verducci's column today.
What pitcher has the most wins for the Orioles since Mike Mussina left in 2000?
Answer will be in the next post.
Posted by: Mikepcfl | February 23, 2010 3:41 PM
As sad as it is, Rodrigo Lopez has the most wins for the O's since 2000.
I will have to trust Verducci as I am too depressed to look up the actual number! LOL

That's certainly NOT an impressive list Chris. Not when you compare it to teams who are always better than the orioles who have as many, if not more names on the list.
Perhaps it's better if you compare it to previous years in this organization..... which is saying nothing at all.
And I know..... it doesn't include the players on the big club who are no longer eligible for the list. Other teams can say similar however.
Hard to spin this, no matter how hard you try!

Not sure why everyone is upset about the prospect list. There are 30 organizations in baseball, which means each organization should have about 3 prospects on a list of 100. The Orioles have four, which is above average.
Not to mention, a lot of our promising young players (which is what a prospect actually is) don't qualify for the list because they have been in the majors for x amount of time (Wieters, Tillman, Reimold, Jones, etc.).

"Im not upset, but some people act like we've invented developing prospects when we are NOWHERE NEAR TAMPA in minor league talent, just keepin it real"
Wow. Back to your over-reacting ways, I see. All I did was provide information. No opinion, no spin. Yet you insist on bashing... who exactly? And for what reason...?
Way to "keep it real." You know what Chris Rock says about, "keepin' it real," don't you?
