Nick Markakis

Here is what I have been looking for - an update on whether or not Markakis will make the Opening Day roster for the Orioles.

Oh, wait. The article only says all signs point towards him making the team. Perlozzo asks what to do with the other OFers?

With Javy Lopez at DH, move Conine/Millar to 1B.

Stick Markakis in LF or move Patterson/Matos to LF and give the Greek guy CF.

As this seems obvious, my guess is this article was done prior to the Lopez-to-DH one.

If Markakis makes the team, my experience has shown top rookies go for $18 at the draft. With legit future value and good skills, I'd feel comfortable grabbing him at that price.

(And with my cap space, I could very well pay that and not miss a beat!)
