Steve Melewski With An Orioles Update Live From Spring Training

Steve Melewski covers the Orioles and blogs for MASN Sports.

Steve joined Ed and Steve to give an update on the Orioles live from Sarasota, FL.

Steve started by talking about which member of the rotation could be replaced by Tyler Wilson should he make the team saying "Miguel Gonzalez still can be optioned, which was confirmed this week...Kevin Gausman can be optioned but he has pitched well this spring." As for the struggles of the starting pitchers in the spring Steve said "the rotation has Ubaldo's ERA which is second best and not very good...the rotation just hasn't been very good."

Steve also talked about the early struggles of outfielder Hyun Soo Kim and what may be causing the struggles saying "the guy has it tough he has to adapt to a new culture and new team and everything...it's only been a few at bats but he's not hitting the ball to the opposite field and not getting walks."

Steve also talked about players on the bubble who have shown well this spring like Christian Walker saying "I don't think he's going to be an opening day outfielder for the team, but his bat is making a case to stay."
