What the Scribes and Bloggers are Saying About the Tejada Deal...
Written by The Oriole Post   
Sunday, 24 January 2010 18:53

Just here watching some of the NFC Championship football game and I wanted to get a greater perspective as to what the various blogs and websites are saying about the Tejada deal.

I'm really quite amazed as to what I found at least in the hour I spent searching. It seems that the vast majority of Baltimore blogs want Tejada on the team; meanwhile, most of the Astros blogs are actually kind of glad he's gone.

The Houston blogs have really nothing against Tejada, but a few wanted to see some prospects play in the big leagues rather than see him take a roster spot.

More Thoughts on Tejada
Written by The Oriole Post   
Sunday, 24 January 2010 13:42

Unless you’ve been under a rock or out of the country for the past 24 hours, most know by now that the Orioles have re-signed Miguel Tejada to a one-year, $6 million deal with incentives.

Obviously, since the Orioles have Cesar Izturis at shortstop, Miguel Tejada will more than likely play third base.

As most remember, when he was with in Baltimore during his first stint, he objected to a position change and considered himself to be a viable major league shortstop; however, during the past few years with the Astros, his range – according to most scouts – had slipped.

Amazingly, he was still available into late January – a shocker to me; however, the trend over the past few years (especially with the decrease of steroid use in the game), teams are avoiding older players in favor of younger ones. That being said, the Orioles had a need, Tejada needed a job and both sides came to an agreement.

It will be interesting to see how Tejada does at third, considering he’s been a major league shortstop for his entire career. I know he played third at the World Baseball Classic in 2009, but never for an extended period of time.

The good thing with Tejada is the the bat is still there. Although he’s not the same player that he was when he first signed with Baltimore, he did hit .313 last year with 14 homers and 46 doubles. Then again, keep in mind he played half his games in Houston’s Minute Maid Park – a hitter’s haven.

His numbers at the plate have dipped in the past few years, but he’s been durable and can produce at the plate.

Over the past few days, I’ve been reading pretty much all the blogs, plus news sites for varying opinions of Teajda. Some like him and his bat, some are indifferent, some think he was a great teammate, while some just didn’t care for him to ever return to Baltimore.

Considering what was left on the market at third and first base, signing Tejada for one year will not be a death knell for the Orioles; in fact, it could only help the offense. Baltimore needs all the offensive firepower it can get considering they play in AL East, and Tejada’s signing will hopefully fortify a lineup with a lot of youth, but amazing potential.

Really, I know a lot of people have criticized Tejada for his drug use, his sometimes apathetic nature, some of his lies, but from what I saw out of him in Baltimore, he’s a man – much like the departed Mora – with a sense of immense pride.

I can also mention he’s been through a lot with his trial for perjury, the age thing, scrunity into his drug use and also the death of his brother; therefore, it might be safe to assume he’s a far different person than he was a few seasons ago. The Orioles are a different organization now, and perhaps the infusion of youth will embolden Tejada to be a spark for everyone.

 
Fanfest reaction, Orioles sign Tejada
Written by James Baker   
Sunday, 24 January 2010 09:12

(To read the log of tweets from Fan Fest, check out our Twitter Page...)

Yesterday was a big day.

First off, fanfest was hugely entertaining and successful.  According to the Orioles over 12,000 people filed into the Baltimore Convention Center downtown to grab some swag and talk shop with other O's fans.  After the morning Q+A session with Andy MacPhail and Dave Trembley, a wonderful complete recap can be seen right here, my friends and I pondered what to do next.

Barry got in line to grab a Nick Markakis signature and the rest of us aided our friend Matt's quest for as many O's car magnets as possible.  Esskay booth - two magnets; Chik Fil A booth - five more magnets; Back up-stairs at the entrance -  five more magnets.  More on this later.

Fanfest is always sort of a nomadic thing for me, I prefer to wander around and find adventure as it comes (wandering around netted us four more magnets).  After buying a great 1960 score card (Senators v Orioles, Orioles won) and grabbing some free stuff from the free stuff line ('09 Orioles yearbook and size small Ryan Freel shirts, HOLY CRAP! But surprisingly no magnets) We decided to forgo the high priced concessions and trek across the street to the Pratt St Ale House.  A very nice place, a little more formal than Pickles or Sliders, but still a comfy local establishment.

After we had our fill we pondered our next move. Upstairs at the convention center there sat two autograph stations and a room full of memorabilia. The memorabilia in this case was game-worn unis of former Orioles for super cheap. Even the pants. Seriously, the table said "Used Pants $15". The silent auction showcased some fine items including a 50th anniversary autograhed bat. The bat was signed by virtually every great Oriole in history and pulled in an easily over $500.  All the proceeds from the auction were going to UNICEF's on-going Haiti campaign. Portions of the gate and concession sales also were going to Haiti moreover the Orioles were matching all money raised that day. With 12,000 fans in attendance I am sure that hundreds of thousands of dollars will be going to a fantastic cause.

Matt, his brother Brian, Josh and myself decided to grab an autograph or two while we were near the station.  The new autograph policy was either annoying or exciting depending on who you asked.  No one knew who would be signing until one hour prior to that signing.  So if you were looking for the four o'clock signing, they would be announced at three. Then you would have to be one of the first 250 to queue up and then the line would be closed.  I liked the idea, in theory.  I have been to autograph signings and waited in line for hours only to have the session end with me nowhere near the front.  With this system, if you were in the line, you were getting an autograph no matter how long it took, which usually wasn't that bad.  And because of that the atmosphere in the line was a bit more relaxed.  Friends and family that were separated were allowed to move around, within reason, people could get out of line to go to the bathroom without fear of reprisal.

My girlfriend Kate, saying she did not feel like spending two hours in line, trotted off somewhere else. But man did she get me. She got in the Matt Wieters line downstairs and was able to score me a nice, fresh, Matt Wieters ball. I am a lucky man I tell you what.

My friends and I were treated to three young stars: Josh Bell, Jason Berken and Brad Bergesen. The one thing that struck me about all the players at fanfest was they all seemed just delighted to be there. Berken and Bergesen were joking around with the fans.  Bell was genuinely trying to have conversations with people as he signed various balls and bats.  On the subject of Bell for a second, when he does make his way to the Orioles he will definitely hold the record for most ink on the team.  Bell is rocking the full sleeve.

Most of the key players on the team were in attendance. Roberts, Jones and Markakis (who looks like he spent the winter in a cabin living off of "varmints") were their normal jovial selves at their forums. Guthrie and Berken challenged kids at Guitar Hero all day. Dave was nothing but smiles. It was a good day.

At 5:00 the time came for the "Blogging the Birds" forum hosted by MASN's Steve Melewski.The last forum of the day was still well attended and it was a lot of fun.  Frankly, being up there I was a bit nervous at first.  But I settled in nicely and fielded questions like a pro. A huge thanks to the Orioles for allowing us to do that. The Orioles are not obligated in anyway to show us the kindness they did yesterday and last year.

The day though can honestly be divided in half. There was the part before the announcement, and then after. Right in the middle of the day it was leaked that the Orioles signed Miguel Tejada to a one-year deal. And the news rippled through the crowd.  Honestly I saw nothing but faces light up at the sound of the news. All of the sudden fans seemed genuinely excited at the prospect of Tejada coming back.

The question was posed our forum and the panel seemed rather non-plussed about the whole affiar. Stacey from Camden Chat seemed downright against it.  In her view every Miguel Tejada is "taking at bats away from Felix Pie, Michael Aubrey and Brandon Snyder." To her signing both Garrett Atkins and Miguel Tejada is "redundant". I didn't respond at the time because I didn't want to monopolize the forum with this issue but I really disagree with that assertion.

Miguel Tejada is not blocking any one that we can look at right now and say "this guy is the future".  Michael Aubrey projects out to be a back-up at best.  Yes he had a fine September and I like him as well, but I am not counting on Michael Aubrey being the Opening Day first baseman. And if we were counting on Aubrey being that then we are in real trouble. Snyder is intriguing but we really need to see what he can do in AAA. As for the Pie situation, we are less than a month from "pitchers and catchers" and Felix Pie is still struggling with a quadricep injury and at last check was not running at "full-speed" the same can be said for Nolan Reimold and his injury. Can we really sit here and rely on them at this point?

While we are on the subject of Pie. I love Pie, I want Pie to succeed and I want to seem him play more on this team. But right now he is blocked by a superior bat in Reimold and a superior all-around player in Jones. If Pie has a future on this team it is as a fourth outfielder for right now, but that can change in a heartbeat.

The thing that makes the Tejada deal good is the contract. One year, six million dollars with incentives that could make it seven. Not only it is a great money-wise but this could be a very easy contract to move in the middle of the year if Josh Bell is tearing through minor leagues. This is an all-around good move for the Orioles. Tejada's bat in the lineup makes the offense much more competitive and while he may have some defensive struggles at third to start I believe that Tejada is a good enough defensive baseball player that he will figure it out and be at least above league average.

All in all it was another great Fanfest.  My band of fans left as the staff was striking the booths and sets. Matt went off to find more magnets, having collected roughly two dozen that day on his own. He returned with his brother each carrying a small box with giant grins on their faces. Each box contained 300 (!) magnets. For 20 dollars Matt had secured over 600 magnets. Look out for the "O-mobile" this summer, trust me you will know it when you see it.

 
Fan Fest, Miggy Reunited with the Orioles and Thoughts...

(video from the Baltimore Sun - players' reaction to Tejada coming back to Baltimore...)

(To read the log of tweets from Fan Fest, check out our Twitter Page...)

For a long time, the resounding notion amongst some in the area was that fans really don't care much about Orioles baseball anymore because of the losing for the past twelve years.

Despite the dwindling attendance at Oriole Park for several years and the bashing of the organization -- deserved or not -- has received, fans do very much care about Baltimore baseball based on the turnout at today's Fan Fest. Although were in the dead of winter here, people were happy to see some reminder of baseball in the region along with the black and orange again.

More than 12,000 fans showed up at the annual event this year. This time around, FanFest was held at the Baltimore Convention Center rather than at Camden Yards, and was held today rather than in April because the Orioles open the season at Tampa. It didn't make much sense to fly home to hold the event in April and then fly back to Florida.

The Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck predicted that a player would be introduced to Baltimore this weekend in a blog post, and he was right on the money. Fans at the event found out through the word of mouth, texts, and emails that Miguel Tejada would be coming back on a one-year deal to Baltimore for a second tour of duty.

Based on talking with other bloggers towards the end of the day, the reaction ranged from happiness such as "yes, the Orioles did well and it was a good signing", to indignation, plus the sounds of "why again -- he's old?"

In about two-and-half months, we'll see if Tejada can deliver and help the team improve, or if his signing was another in a long line of many with the Orioles over the current losing spell that will prove to be ill-advised. The million dollar is question is aside from Miguel being able to still produce -- which he probably will in one shape or another -- can he even play third?

As well, the Orioles trotted out their new additions -- Mike Gonzalez, Kevin Millwood and Garrett Atkins.

For fans, Saturday was fun as they got to see pretty much the entire team in one fashion or another with the various forums that took place on the main stage, during autograph sessions and demonstrations on a practice field. As well, team executives, the press, old-school Orioles participated in Q&A sessions with those in attendance, plus the were a multitude of vendors, memorabilia sales, and games set up for kids at the convention center.

It was great to see the players relaxed and in street clothes for the event. Considering it is off-season, many of the players didn't feel the need to abide the team's grooming policy and quite a few really looked different than the norm. Two men in particular stood out -- Luke Scott and Nick Markakis.

Seriously, Luke Scott looked like he was trying out for Hugh Jackman's role in 'X-Men", while Markakis sported a beard (um, looked really looked like a grifter or perhaps a rabbi...)

Aside from everything else listed above, the Orioles also included a select group of bloggers to participate during Fan Fest as well. My tag team partner James represented the blog, and the panel included Stacey Long from Camden Chat, Neal from the Loss Column, Chris from Baltimore Sports and Life, and last, but not least, Kate Wheeler along with Steve Melewski from MASN Sports (who was the moderator).

The Baltimore Orioles should be given a credit for realizing that the online community can play a vital part in the dissemination of news, commentary and analysis. They extended their hand out to bloggers to be part of things, and I'm sure everyone who took the in the event was greatly appreciative.

This year's Fan Fest surely did create a lot of buzz along with tons of excitement. With the New Year, fans seemed to forgive the past -- if only for Saturday -- and look toward the future.

Whether or not it's bright or a gilded one, we'll find out in October when the 2010 season ends.

Fan Fest Coverage on Twitter; Updates...
Written by The Oriole Post   
Saturday, 23 January 2010 07:13

Morning all. Well, Fan Fest is upon us in a few hours and we'll do our best to update you as to what we see and hear throughout the day on Saturday.

In the past, the blog has gone to the annual event with pad and pencil in hand to take notes on everything; however, this year, rather than update everything after Fan Fest is over, we're going to be ambitious and use the magic of Twitter to let you all know what's going on.

As well, we'll try to upload pictures throughout the day for those of you who cannot attend to be informed in the best way possible. I'm also going to try to get sound bites from Fan Fest, but can't promise anything.

That being said, I hope you all enjoy your Saturday...

Anyone in the greater Baltimore area tomorrow should roll on down to the Annual Orioles Fanfest at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Season ticket holders will get in at 10:00 am for a special "State of the Orioles" address and Q+A session with Andy MacPhail and Dave Trembley. Doors open to the general public at 11 and the event goes on until six that evening.

Vendors, forums, autographs, swag:  Fanfest is always a good time.

If you can't make it fear not, the Oriole Post will be there to bring you all the important coverage especially the morning forum with Dave and Andy. If you do stop by please hang out for the "Blogging the Birds" forum on the main stage at 5:00 pm featuring representatives from MASN.com, Baltimore Sports and Life, Camden Chat, the Loss Column and ME (!) representing the Oriole Post.

Players signing autographs will include, but are not limited to: Matt Wieters, Brad Bergesen, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Brian Roberts, Josh Bell, Kevin Millwood plus many more current and former players as well as Dave Trembley and the entire coaching staff.

The complete list can be found here.

See you tomorrow O's fans!

PS - A portion of the gate proceeds and auction sales will go to help UNICEF with their on-going relief efforts in Haiti.  The Orioles will also be accepting staright donations at the door and the organization will match all funds raised tomorrow.

 
The New Ticket Policy
Written by The Oriole Post   
Thursday, 21 January 2010 12:26

There doesn't seem to be much happening today at all with the Orioles, but Fan Fest is taking place this weekend at the Baltimore Convention Center. As always it should be interesting to see what comes of the event, the various personalities and seeing a crowd ready for baseball -- for better or worse with this team -- in the Spring.

Over the weekend, the Orioles announced that they were raising the price of tickets bought on 'game-day', plus those of 'prime games' -- mainly those against the Yankees and Red Sox. Considering how bad the team has been over the past decade-plus, a lot of fans would not be happy about the price increases at all.

During the past week, there's been a considerable amount of anger online on the various blogs and sites. Drew Forrester of WNST has been pretty vocal about his displeasure of the new ticket policies, but this morning, Kevin Cowherd of the Sun had his say about it and it's safe to say he's not pleased.

Really, a lot fans are upset at the new policies not so much because an increase in ticket prices, but because of the performance of the Orioles on the field. As sad it is to say, there are kids around my brother's age -- he's 16 -- who will have almost zero recollection of a winning organization in Baltimore.

Are most people seemingly upset about shelling out a couple of more bucks - no. The issue in a nutshell is that the Baltimore Orioles have sucked for years and why should fans feel compelled to pay for a lackluster product? For most people, I'd assume that they'd be willing to spend more if there was a marquee player signed this offseason on the roster such as a Matt Holiiday or a John Lackey.

I don't want to disrespect anyone on the Orioles, but there isn't one.

Two winters ago (if I'm correct), the Ravens raised prices on their tickets all across the board when the economy had started to completely suffer. While there were still a few people who grumbled at the price increase, most - if not all - fans paid for the priviledge to watch their team on gameday at M&T Bank Stadium.

The comparison between the Ravens and the Orioles are simple. Simply, the football team has won in the past few years. The baseball team has not.

Personally, I'm not bothered by the policy as I tend to just call my ticket representative and order them ahead of time; however, I can see where the vast majority of people are coming from with their anger.

 
Tejada For a Second Stint in Baltimore; What the Scribes and Bloggers are Saying About the Orioles...
Written by The Oriole Post   
Wednesday, 20 January 2010 10:04

Over the past week, Miguel Tejada's name has come up over and over with the Orioles, and now it he looks like he may be a potential viable candidate to suit up at third base.

The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec notes that the Orioles are now looking at Tejada, as well as Joe Crede -- the oft-injured third baseman. Right now, it seems the Orioles are looking to fill the third base hole, so Garrett Atkins -- who was acquired in December -- might play first base.

Tejada, who had a productive season in 2009, is still on the market into late January.

Reading a lot of the comments online, the opinions range greatly on a possible return for the one-time slugger. They range from outright indignation for Tejada being a steroid user, to his perceived lack of hustle and sometimes "me" attitude, to a lot not really caring about his percieved slights at all. He's not the player now that he was when he signed his big contract with Baltimore, but he's still got it at the plate.

If you get a chance (you all probably have), read Roch's entry on Tejada, as it was interesting to hear his perspective on a potential move. Meanwhile, the Sun's Peter Schmuck would not be against him returning at all and is very complimentary towards Tejada.

All things considered (once you look at the remaining free agents left at third), Tejada may not be a bad choice to fill in as a stop-gap measure until Josh Bell is ready to play in the majors.

 
Q&A With Greg Bader - Spring Training, Camden Yards and The New Ticket Policy...
Written by The Oriole Post   
Tuesday, 19 January 2010 00:19

Last week, the blog sent some questions to Greg Bader - Director of Communications of the Baltimore Orioles - that centers more of the fan experience for the upcoming season.

The topics touched upon in this Q&A include the teams's new Spring Training home in Sarasota, a little bit of what fans should expect at Camden Yards in April, and the new "day-of-game" ticket policy.

What should fans who are heading to Florida expect to encounter in Sarasota -- the Orioles' new Spring Training Home for 2010. Can you tell us a little about the facilities at Ed Smith Stadium? How has the reception been so far with the team in town?

As demonstrated by a very successful mid-November FanFest at Ed Smith and this weekend's potentially record-setting lines for spring training tickets, Sarasota residents and the business community have enthusiastically embraced the Orioles.  To say we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support would be an understatement.  I am told by many individuals who worked for the Reds that the enthusiasm being generated this year is like nothing seen before in Sarasota. I believe the residents know how close they came to losing Spring Training, which has been a fixture in this community uninterrupted since the mid-1920s.  The deal with the Orioles, which represents a true year-round partnership between the club and the community, is one that folks in Sarasota know is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Ed Smith Stadium itself certainly represents an upgrade over the facilities we had in Fort Lauderdale. The ballpark is quite charming and will be undergoing some changes prior to the games in March, including painting and installation of Orioles logos, pennants and other historical elements.  Like most Spring Training facilities, the layout of the complex affords the opportunity for a significant amount of interaction between players and fans--something that makes Spring Training so special.  I am confident that fans who travel to Sarasota will be excited to find a welcoming environment both at the ballpark and around town.

I know a few people in the Fort Lauderdale who were sad that the Orioles decided to move their Spring Training home across the state. Did the organization attempt to stay in the area or consider any other facilities in that part of the state?

For many years, the Orioles worked with the City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and the State of Florida to reach a long-term agreement to keep the club in Fort Lauderdale. An agreement was reached between all parties, including funding sources, but unfortunately was derailed by the FAA (which owned the land where Fort Lauderdale Stadium stood and where the proposed new ballpark would be built). After many years of working towards and ultimately reaching a long-term agreement in Fort Lauderdale, this decision was obviously a disappointment to us and to our many fans in the area.  Ultimately, however, we are extremely excited that Sarasota presented itself as an opportunity to become the long-term home of the Orioles.

In addition, is the team looking to perhaps get some of those fans in that part of the state over to Sarasota to see the Orioles and perhaps keep them part of things?

We have looked into partnering with a bus company to run a service from Fort Lauderdale to Sarasota; however, we have not found a cost-effective solution that fans in Fort Lauderdale would be willing to pay. That said, we have heard from many of our Fort Lauderdale ticket holders that they want tickets to select games in Sarasota and plan to come across the state several times each to see the games on their own.

There's been some concern that the team has not done enough to keep some of the ex-Orioles as part of the organization. Recently, it looks as if the Orioles have taken steps to improve that situation by hiring ex-players to fill in spots at the minor league level. Is there anything planned on the major league level - PR wise, etc. - that fans will be able to see in Baltimore?

The club has an extremely proud history and has always embraced bringing back former players to be honored and held ceremonies recognizing great teams of the past.  Many former players have served as coaches, scouts and front office personnel. Last year we launched the Orioles Alumni Association which helped the club provide even more opportunities for former players to appear at Oriole Park.  Our Alumni Autograph Series brought back a total of 40 former Orioles to meet and sign autographs for fans prior to each Monday and Thursday home game.  We will have the same program this year as well.
Additionally, as you know, this year represents the 40th Anniversary of the 1970 World Series Champs, so we will be honoring that team with a special Turn Back the Clock event (a date will be announced early next week). Expect to see nearly every member of the team back for a special reunion weekend.

The economy, as we all know is still fairly shaky, and a lot of teams ushered new ways to get fans into ballparks. Are the Orioles planning on revamping or adding programs/promotions to get fans into Camden Yards in 2010?

The entire Birdland Stimulus Package returns in 2010... Tuesday Bargain Nights; Thursday Kids Nights; Friday Student Nights; Junior Orioles Dugout Club; All-You-Can-Eat Picnic Perch; and the Free Birthday Ticket Program. These cost-savings ticket programs have all proved to be popular so we are not changing them for the coming season.  Additionally, the 2110 Eutaw Street promotion will be back for 5 different weekend dates (dates to be announced next week, but details on the program will be announced at a later date).

Now that Camden Yards is closing in on it's 20th anniversary, were there any improvements or additions made to ballpark in the off-season? If not, will there be any more additions made in the next few years?

The Maryland Stadium Authority did move forward with a planned deferred maintenance program to replace all lower level seats between the foul poles. After removing the old seats, the MSA had the concrete reinforced in certain areas and new seats will be installed. Plans are for the process to continue throughout the rest of the ballpark (lower level outfield, club level and upper deck) prior to the 2011 season.

Of course in the recent past, major upgrades to the video boards and televisions throughout the ballpark, to the video control room and to the audio system within the seating bowl have been made, helping the Orioles provide an improved ballpark entertainment experience.

Other changes fans can expect to see in the coming years have not yet been formalized, but it is safe to assume that additional enhancements will take place to various areas throughout the ballpark in the coming years.

Why did the Orioles decide this season to institute a 'day-of-game' ticket fee? Based on the responses online on various websites from fans, the new program is not very popular right now. Will it still affect discounted games -- i.e., Student Night -- that have a strong walk-up crowd?

Any time ticket prices are increased, the decision is not going to be popular with fans, and we understand this.  But in an effort to keep Orioles baseball the most affordable entertainment option in the region, we kept season ticket prices the same and also kept prices the same on 75% of our games, when tickets are bought at least 24 hours in advance.  With some advance planning, many fans will not have to pay any price increase for tickets over previous years.  The exceptions of course are a modest 10% increase on prime games and a small increase for tickets purchased the day of a game.  The average difference in price for tickets purchased on a gameday is just $2, so we do not believe this will negatively impact attendance.

We do not plan to alter the cost of Student Night tickets or Dugout Club tickets purchased on a gameday.  Bargain Night tickets purchased on a gameday will cost $9 instead of $8.
