Around the time of last year's minicamp, when the Orioles broke the news to electric left-hander Tanner Scott that he'd be working out of the starting rotation instead of the relief role that had suited him well as a pro, he wasn't nearly as certain about its benefits as he is now.
"It was definitely a good idea," Scott said. "I had good numbers last year and it was really good working on all my pitches and getting those extra innings in. I remember when I first got the call that I'm going to be a starter again.
