Schmuck: With Adam Jones situation getting more uncomfortable, the Orioles run for cover

There were two facts of particular note when the Orioles took the field against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night at Camden Yards.

Adam Jones was back in right field after three days in the witness protection program in St. Petersburg, Fla., and rookie outfield prospect DJ Stewart was in the house after getting a surprise call-up that seemed a little bit fishy.

It certainly looks like the Orioles realized that the rationale for sitting Jones three straight games — ostensibly to look at some younger players — wasn’t getting much traction when the one really new guy getting looked at was 28-year-old minor league journeyman John Andreoli.
