Quick Hits...

Peter Schmuck opines about the transactions and improvements the Orioles conducted during the winter in his article, ‘O's Don't Rock House, but Make Progress’. While he agrees the Orioles have improved, the moves are more or less baby steps back to respectability and becoming a contender, rather than having hopes of winning the AL East or wild card in ’07.


* According to ESPN, second baseman Mark Loretta will sign with the Houston Astros. The deal is for one year at $2.5 million, but could be worth as much as $3.5 million with incentives, said Loretta's agent, Bob Garber.

* Padres pitcher Jake Peavy was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct Thursday at Mobile Regional Airport in Alabama. There were no details released on the arrest, but may be over a parking issue at the airport

Peter Schmuck, despite his unfortunate names, usually makes sense -- and today was no exception. The O's aren't going to become a condender overnight -- especially in the AL East. But they've had a good offseason and that's a reason to be happy for us O's fans (and bloggers).

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the hit on my blog. It might not be quite as Oriole oriented as I'd like right now, but hey.. it's the offseason! At least the colors are right! Really enjoyed reading yours and I hope you are able to keep up with it! The pictures are phenomenal!! It'll be one of my new hits. Good luck!
