With about a month and a half until Opening Day and nothing new on the Gallardo/Fowler front, it's been a slow news week in Birdland.
Good morning. There are 47 days until Opening Day. For the O's, number 47 was most famously worn by Jesse Orosco, and since his departure it seems to have become the designated number for mediocre-to-bad relievers. Since 2000 alone, it's been worn by Chuck McElroy, Sean Douglass, Mike DeJean, Jim Hoey, Pedro Viola, Pedro Strop, and Evan Meek. I'm seeing a pattern here.
Today Orioles news is...there is no Orioles news. Yovani Gallardo remains unsigned and Nolan Reimold remains a tentative starting outfielder.
