Spring is springing, and the arms are being sprung.

The Orioles had an off day on St. Patricks day and so did I. Well, I had minor surgery, what's their excuse? Lol.

Okay, seems as if the 5th man race is down to two players now. ALbers and Burress. I guess I was wrong about Olson. He was sprung. Looks like the Norfolk rotation may be better than the Orioles! Apparently Olson can't control his fastball. When you pitch in the high 80's and sometimes low 90's you NEED to hit your spots. He must learn to control his fastball and sneak it in on the corners. I think a little more time in AAA will help him. As with Hayden Penn, Olson will be a big league pitcher, just not now. He will earn a call up.

Randor Bierd continues to impress. He came in as a situational guy and faced two batters, sitting them down in order, lowering his spring ERA to 2.35. Ladies and germs, we have a rule 5 winner. Thanks Detroit.
