Before ever pitching for Orioles, Andrew Cashner invested himself in meshing with new mates

The squirrel is wearing a cowboy hat, smoking a cigarette, holding a miniature replica gun and is mounted beside the nameplate on pitching prospect Hunter Harvey's locker in the Orioles clubhouse.

If the nickname it represents isn't the most flattering, the value of it is. Harvey sees it and every other bit of attention paid to him by new Orioles starter Andrew Cashner as vital to his growth as a major leaguer. And the taxidermy token above his locker looms over the whole pitchers’ side of the clubhouse as a symbol of the newest member's influence this spring.
