So far, the most exciting thing to happen this morning was Brad Bergesen's flat ground session on the first practice field. He looked comfortable enough, but while we're all monitoring his sore shoulder, I'm wondering if he is throwing totally without pain in the shin which was damaged so badly by that line drive last summer. Guess I'll ask him when I see him in the clubhouse.
Showing up in my usual resort attire was a mistake again today. I know I'm not going to get any sympathy from anyone up north, but it's pretty darn cold.
Dave Trembley is still beaming about the spacious Ed Smith Stadium complex, where you can actually run several different sets of drills at the same time. There are five fields here, so the O's haven't even stepped on the infield at the actual stadium. In Fort Lauderdale, the stadium was the main field with just two other full fields.
