O's: Pregame Dave
Dave Trembley just held court and laid out his plans for the next week or so. He's been slow-playing the regulars during the first week, starting them every other day. Now, he's going to start playing some of them back to back.
"Tejada will kick it off,'' he said. "He'll start back-to-back today and tomorrow. Jones will, too."
Brad Bergesen threw what should be his last batting practice session this morning. If all goes well and he wakes up tomorrow without any soreness in his shoulder, he'll make his 2010 exhibition debut against the Pirates on Wednesday at Bradenton.
Trembley is enjoying the early spring meteor shower, but he isn't drawing a lot of conclusions from the 11 homers in the first four games.
"I hope they don't use them all up,'' he said.
There are some factors that have contributed to the quick burst of power during the first week of the preseason.
"The wind has been blowing,'' he said. "Most guys are throwing fastball/changeup this time of year. They aren't going to their secondary pitches yet."
