Jones, Reimold react
Adam Jones and Nolan Reimold had similar reactions to the news that the Orioles had renewed their contracts. They both understand the process and know that they'll have more leverage in the future, though nobody wants to get renewed.
"It's just part of the process...just sign it and play out this year,'' said Jones. "You keep it in-house. There's no bad blood between both sides...There's no need for both sides to get into any war, just play out this year."
Jones may have been keeping his true feelings to himself. He came within one day of service time of being one of the "Super-2" arbitration players. That one day may have cost him a couple million dollars.
Reimold is in a different situation. He's coming off a good rookie season, but he still has less than a year of service time.
"It's a business, whatever,'' Reimold said. "No hard feelings whatsoever. I understand both ways."

Jones will get paid, it's not the O's fault he missed super 2 status by 1 day, I would place the blame (for those that like to do that sorta thing) on the Mariners and when they initially brought him up to the majors.

Can you update us on the status of Jeff Fiorentino, Lou Montanez, Michael Aubrey (isn't he the unathletic looking guy who hit with some power at the end of the 2009 season?) and Troy Patton, and whether any of these players has a chance of making this team.
Being a computer illiterate I'm having trouble accessing your live chat on my computer at work which filters social networking sites. Thanks
