Orioles pitchers and catchers reported to Sarasota, Fla., for the start of spring training Feb. 13. In this month's 15, PressBox looks at 15 questions surrounding the Orioles as spring training begins.
1. Who will be the leadoff hitter?
Will the Orioles acquire someone from the outside? Or could it be a player who is already with the team? In the past, manager Buck Showalter has used some unusual leadoff hitters, Nick Markakis, Manny Machado and Adam Jones. Showalter has said he'd like to get Jones out of the leadoff spot, but unless he tries Hyun Soo Kim or newcomer Seth Smith, Jones might be back to batting first.
