Quick Hits: O's News

Gibby's new do...

The Orioles.com reports on Kris Benson and his plans to avoid surgery and more news from camp.

The Baltimore Sun has an article about the competition for starting jobs and playing time in 2007 spread over multiple players and positions. Kris Benson is opting to rehab rather than do surgery, however, his agent is taking a cautious approach, and Roch Kubtako lets in on the details. Peter Schmuck has an article about the Kris Benson situation too, and there’s a Q&A with Adam Stern.

The Washington Post’s Jorge Arangure reports that Kris Benson will start four weeks of rehab and has a little write up on Miguel Tejada, Tom Trebelhorn and Jose Acevedo.

The Baltimore Examiner reports that Jim Hoey, a reliever who started in Single A and zoomed up to the majors in 2006 may not get a shot to stay with the Orioles, and may be sent down to Norfolk.
