Orioles | Atkins takes extra BP in camp The Baltimore Sun reports Baltimore Orioles IF Garrett Atkins took batting practice, then some groundballs at first base before taking extra swings with hitting coach Terry Crowley.

SS Cesar Izturis is expected to remain the team's starting shortstop. Orioles | Team may use one of their righty bats for trade bait The Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers reports that if the Baltimore Orioles sign free-agent 3B Joe Crede (Twins), the team would have a surplus of third basemen who hit right-handed. IF Garrett Atkins is expected to serve as the team's starting first baseman, but IF Ty Wigginton and DH/OF Luke Scott could be traded away for bullpen help. Orioles | Prefer to use Atkins at first Dan Connolly and Jeff Zrebiec, of The Baltimore Sun, report the Baltimore Orioles would prefer to use 3B Garrett Atkins at first base next season, but there are more first baseman available on the free-agent market this offseason.
