Around the Oriole Blog-O-Sphere: Post Fan Fest Edition

James Baker recaps the 2011 Oriole Fan Fest here with more pictures here.

Dan at Camden Crazies likes the Justin Duchscherer signing.

Chris of Baltimore Sports and Life is fine with the Duchscherer signing, as long as the competition for rotation spots in Spring Training is legitimate.

Speaking of BS&L, Chris also canvased four national baseball writers for their thoughts on the 2011 Orioles.

Camden Depot takes an ingenious new angle on Oriole attendance...but it's not a pretty picture at all.

Has The Wayward O been delivered a sign that Felix Pie should remain the starting left fielder?

The Eutaw Street Hooligans don't like the idea of Vlad in Black & Orange either and I couldn't have put it any better myself.

Mark Hendrickson has been signed to a minor league deal. I like that signing. Hendrickson pitched better than his numbers last season, is just fine out of the bullpen and capable of being an emergency starter. Nice addition.

The Frederick Keys are up for sale. To complicate matters, the city of Frederick has put the lease on Harry Grove Stadium out for bid. (According to the article, the Bowie Baysox are up for sale as well...)

Want to see a baby eagle being hatched?  Cool, right? What's the Oriole connection? The egg was removed from Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota to save it from noise and construction that was threatening the nest.
