Federal Baseball.com Does Interviews...This One With Orioles Blog...
Federal Baseball.com Talks To Jeff from Right Off Russell:
Federal Baseball (FB): I keep hearing Aubrey Huff's name in trade rumors, as often as I hear Nick Johnson's name mentioned, do you think he'll be dealt, and what do you expect, or what would you accept in return?
ROR: I am really torn about what the Orioles should do with Huff. I like his bat in the middle of the O's line-up and there is no one who could immediately replace his power. I also think Huff wants to stick around in Baltimore and could be re-signed after the season. He looks back on leaving Tampa, before they put it all together, with remorse and does not want the same thing to happen here. Huff is also appreciated in Baltimore despite harsh comments about the city in his first off-season with the club. On the other hand, Huff's value is as high as it is going to get and the Orioles would be wise to try and cash in on that. Andy McPhail will not trade Huff for the sake of making a move. The return value will need to be there. If the Orioles trade Huff, it would be great to get a close to major league ready 3B prospect and maybe a bullpen arm. Much more for a rental player is unrealistic.
FB: Ryan Zimmerman's Achilles' Heel seems to he his tendency to sail throws to first occasionally when he has too much time to make a play. Assuming you consider Nick Markakis the face of the Orioles' franchise, have you spotted his weakness yet.
ROR: Nick Markakis' weakness is not in the field. If he is not already he should be considered on of the top RF's in the game. I think Kake's main weakness is that he struggles to catch up to top end heat. His bat could be considered a tad slow, and at times he gets caught guessing on pitches to compensate. So if he guesses wrong he is either badly fooled or caught looking. Having said that though, Markakis is a very skilled offensive player, with a great approach who should consistently put up .300, 25 hr, 90 rbi seasons with an OBPS around .850-.900. I am just not sure if he will ever take the next step and become a .320, 30 hr, 120 rbi, .1000 OBPS type player.
FB: Assuming Markakis and Adam Jones are going to be fixtures of the O's outfield for years to come, who is going to eventually take hold of the left field spot. Luke Scott's 6-years older than Jones and Markakis, is it Nolan Reimold, who I've admittedly only seen a few times when DC and Baltimore have played each other, or is there someone else in the system who'll take over in left?
ROR: Keep an eye on Reimold this series. He has, for all intents an purposes locked up the LF spot, giving the O's a bright future in the outfield. Based on what he did in the minors we knew Reimold had a good power bat, but since he has been in Baltimore he is proving to be a very complete offensive player. Reimold consistently has good at bats and has shown the ability to work the count to get pitches to hit. He rarely gets fooled and has great bat speed. At this point he looks like he can combine average and on base percentage with his impressive power. One knock on Reimold in the minors was that his OF defense was suspect. He has a very good throwing arm, but it was said that he struggled in always taking good routes on fly balls and just always being an alert and hustling OF'er. While Reimold is not a gold glove defender it seems to me that his defense has improved and he is better than he was advertised. I am hard pressed to think of any other outfields that have a trio of guys with as good a combo of outfield range and throwing arms as Markakis, Jones and Reimold.
FB: Is Matt Wieters ready? Was he brought up too soon? How long before he's the everyday catcher?
Wieters is the everyday catcher. Greg Zaun will get 1-2 starts a week, but Wieters is the #1 guy. I do not think he was brought up too soon. Defensively he is very skilled and he seems to work well with the Orioles pitchers at working a gameplan and calling pitches, something that will only improve the more he plays. Wieters has at times looked human at bat which had to be expected. With the amount of hype he came up with he needed to match Joe Mauer's production to not be seen as disappointing. In all seriousness I think he will be fine hitting. I do think he has shown to be a better left handed hitter than right handed hitter so far, and it happens that the Orioles have faced a lot of left handed starters since Wieters got the call up. He has all the tools to be successful and he combines that with the right team first attitude, something that can be hard to keep when one player gets so much attention. Wieters is where he belongs in Baltimore.
(Bonus ?) Jim Palmer or Rob Dibble? Who would you rather have announcing your games?
I confess that I am partial to Jim Palmer. I have listened to him provide color on Orioles games for so long and really appreciate the insight he provides. Palmer also says what needs to be said when the Orioles need to be criticized for lass than stellar play. I also have not had the chance to listen to Dibble a whole lot. From what I have heard Dibs is good too, but like I said I enjoy Palmer and think he is one of the better color analysts out there. I don't think that Palmer could make Strahan sound like a little girl the way that Dibble did when he stepped in to break up a fight between Strahan and Tom Arnold. If I had to pick one of them to have my back in a bar fight then I would go with Dibble.
Thanks Jeff...

Dibble over Palmer in a bar fight? I'd have to agree.
Who says you can’t find good sports analysis on the intertubes! I hope to catch part of the game later—represent against the Os, NatsTown™! It would be nice for Dukes to snap out of his slump tonight and see both ends of the order lighting it up—Rosswiler deserves a win.

"What inning is it?" asks Mrs D with a look of disbelief...
“The 6th.”
“Who’s batting?”
“They are. They have been for the last half-hour.”
“If it gets to 20…” She lets the rest of the threat go unspoken. Time to go get a drink. See you later, NatsTown™.
“Are we STILL in the 6th?” she asks after having dressed up. “It’s time to go.”

Hanny has allowed 8 runs in his last 2 1/3 innings. Washington Times

"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
The Easy Beats had a hit in the 60's. The guitar player was big brother to the guys in AC/DC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zB0RygrYy8&feature=related
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wright_(Australian_singer)
The Easybeats, widely regarded as the greatest Australian pop band of the Sixties.
“Friday on My Mind” (1967), which, in 2001, was voted the Best Australian Song of All Time
his self-admission to the notorious Chelmsford Private Hospital in Sydney; director Dr Harry Bailey administered a highly controversial treatment known as “deep sleep therapy” which allegedly cured drug addiction with a combination of drug-induced coma and electroshock. Many patients, including Wright, suffered brain damage and lifelong after-effects. The scandal was later exposed, but Bailey avoided prosecution by committing suicide.

Creeepy.
Cat Daddy…I saw somebody from The Seeds passed away in Austin recently. Can’t say I followed them, but sounded like a talented bunch.
That's what led me to this and three hours of youtubing last night.
Someone posted a link to the Seeds and I was amazed at all the footage of 60’s bands. It’s fascinating to read about what happened to some of the one-hit wonders or see more follow-up history of them.

I was in and out...doing some gardening...
staking my tomato plants, trying to scare away the flying rats, aka starlings, talking to a neighbor…. pretty much anything to keep from watching this mess…especially when I saw Hanrahan warming up.
When are they going to tell him to get the H*** out of town?
