Sometimes South Beach Hoosier is in such a hurry to share something, he hits the wrong button on his keyboard.
This is an admission of an error of omission.
I thought I had posted this fantastic column by the Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck, the week before Christmas, on what sorts of moves the new-look Orioles have made under new GM Andy MacPhail.
As usual, until you see how the players mesh on the field and in the clubhouse, you only have your hopes and your opinions.
That's especially true when you haven't listened to Peter's weekend show on WBAL in months to get the low-down from Baltimore's honest-yet-hopeful fans.

But instead of hitting "Publish Post," I hit "Draft" and well... there it's stayed lo these past two months -hiding.
Mieux tard que jamais -better late than never.
First Oriole home spring training game in Ft. Lauderdale is Thursday afternoon against the Marlins.

In the aftermath of the first dynamic deal of the MacPhail era, it's fair to ask whether that's proof the club has turned in a better direction.
The answer, unfortunately, is both yes and no....
