Thursday Bird Droppings: With Welington, the Orioles are all set to defeat Napoleon

Hello, friends.

There are now 109 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2017. Many of those days will be a desolate wasteland for baseball news, and worse, many more of them will be spring training. But for today, there's something happening: The Orioles signed Welington Castillo after all.

Are you happy with the signing, or is it something with which you have beef? Do you think that it's weird that the Orioles gave out a player option even though they are opposed to opt-outs?

The thing I keep thinking about is how it's going to be weird with no Matt Wieters on the Orioles, as this signing probably closes the door to his return.
