Bad timing

Andruw Jones didn't exactly dial it up in his free-agent year, but at least he didn't pull a Mike Cameron.

Cameron, who will hit the open market after finishing the 2007 season with the San Diego Padres, has been suspended 25 games for testing positive for a banned stimulant.

Any team that signs Cameron will have to wait 25 games before writing his name in the lineup.

Meanwhile, I contacted the Orioles about their 2008 schedule and was told it will be released "soon."

Sorry I can't narrow it down more than that.
