BLOG: Buck's First Spring
One of the things that has me really excited about the 2011 Baltimore Orioles is going on right now; spring training. More specifically Buck Showalter's first spring training as manager of the Orioles. At fanfest, coach Willie Randolph talked about how Showalter will have these guys working at spring training. It was obvious that all the players seemed more focused after Showalter took over last season. Now he has the whole season to work with Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, Brian Roberts and company. I don't expect a start to the season like last year that's for sure.
