Mother Nature dumped some more snow all over Baltimore this weekend, reminding us that Opening Day and The Boys of Summer are still so very far away. As we dig out again in Charm City, let’s see what the Birds are up to down in sunny Sarasota, in today’s O’s links…
Baltimore’s Squad Built on Brilliance
MLB.com’s Richard Justice has some very flattering words about the Orioles organization, especially Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter.
In today’s Section 336 Daily, Matt goes over some riveting quotes from Sarasota. We have a full month of this! (Audio)
Admittedly not an “O’s link” by the letter of the law, but still a great read for baseball fans. Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight says sports analytics is risking losing much of the momentum it has gained over the past 15 years.
De Aza thought Arbitration Hearing Would Be Worse

Stranding Runners – Miguel Gonzalez’s Most Useful Stat
Scott Magness of Bird’s Eye View has an interesting take on MiGo and LOB over at Baltimore Sports Report.
