A Walk in the Park - Kerry's Calculus on Birds in the Belfry.

Assessment of the O's young pitching staff to date (not included is Ponson). Aptly titled due to all the walks our pitchers are allowing this season.

Emerging Roberts second to none with Orioles - Baltimore Sun

The Sun's assessment of the Hairston trade situation:

Hairston dropped strong hints again Sunday that he thought a trade is imminent - the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are two teams that would love to upgrade at second base - but Orioles officials seem more inclined to keep Hairston and Roberts for the foreseeable future.

I don't see LA as a trade partner for the O's but I guess it is possible. I also can't see the O's waiting until the deadline if other teams are expressing interest.
