It's a small sample size, but the Orioles' first three games made it seem like Kim should get used to sitting on the bench.
The O's are off to a great start after sweeping their opening series against the Twins, and they've done it without Hyun Soo Kim taking the field once. It was well known ahead of time that Kim's disastrous spring would probably lead to someone else starting in left field on Opening Day, but the O's still had a few opportunities to use Kim and didn't take them.
The Orioles' public battle with Kim over his rejection of a demotion to Norfolk lead the team to place Kim on the 25-man roster even after it initially looked like he wouldn't make it.
