Spring training is halfway finished for the Baltimore Orioles, and while there are many questions still to be answered, here are five impressions from the first three weeks of camp.
1. The Manny Machado move to shortstop is a non-story.
When manager Buck Showalter announced at FanFest Jan. 27 that Machado, as expected, would move from third base to shortstop, there were questions about how he would handle the move. There were also many questions about how Tim Beckham would adapt to playing third.
Both have done well, and, offensively, Machado has sparkled this spring. He's batting .643 (9-for-14) with two homers and 10 RBIs in six games.
