Leading Off

If you’re reading this, Bird’s Eye View wishes  you the happiest of New Years. We hope that 2016 brings you happiness, wealth, and an Orioles World Series Championship. The offseason remains inactive, even though a number of Top 20 free agents (including one #19 who used to play in Birdland) remain on the board. Here’s hoping Dan Duquette can pull some of his late-offseason magic.

 

This Week on the  Twitters

I had to take Imodium most days I pitched to plug myself up.
