Latest News
| Nick Markakis starting to warm |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (5/11/13) Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis doubled among two hits as the designated hitter Friday in Minnesota. Markakis' single to left-center field in the seventh inning helped trim a six-run deficit to 6-5. Baltimore won 9-6 in extra innings.

After a slow April, Markakis' bat is warming in May. He's gone 10 for 35 (.286) to this point with four doubles and four RBI over nine games.

| Nick Markakis not allowed to use special breast cancer bat |
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (5/10/13) Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis will not be allowed to use a special bat to honor his mother -- a breast cancer survivor -- on Mother's Day, according to The Baltimore Sun.
Markakis had a black bat with a pink “label” circle made by MaxBat Inc. from Minnesota. Instead, MLB players will be allowed to use pink bats from Louisville Slugger, which holds the exclusive rights to pink bats for Major League Baseball.
"If I said something (to MLB) would it really make a difference? No, I doubt it," Markakis said. "It is what it is. You've got to abide by the rules."

| Nick Markakis OK as occasional DH |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis got a start as the designated hitter Wednesday against the Royals for the third time this season and second time in his last eight games, MASNSports.com reports. Markakis said the role is a different mindset.
"It's different," Markakis said. "You just have to stay loose, stay stretched and wait for your turn to hit. Haven't done it much, but it's good. It gives me a chance to get my feet back under me. It's a different mindset. It's good every once in a while."
Markakis, who went 1 for 8 with no RBI and two walks in his first two starts as the DH this season, is batting .270 overall with three homers and 15 RBI. He's 6 for 25 (.240) in May, however, and would like to get his bat started once again.

| After a few years of declining power numbers, Nick Markakis' production had slipped to David DeJesus levels, putting him on the verge of dropping out of the top 12 at the position. But a funny thing happened in 2012. For the first time in four years, his slugging percentage improved. And not just by a little. His .471 mark wasn't far off from what he was putting up in 2007 and 2008, when he was considered one of the top outfielders in Fantasy. Of course, few Fantasy owners noticed the improvement because Markakis missed a combined nine weeks with surgeries on his hand and thumb, ending a streak of three straight seasons in which he played 160 games. But when he was in the lineup, he was driving the ball like he hasn't in years. So what happened? One theory is that the abdominal surgery he had before the season revealed previously undetected scar tissue that had weakened his lower half in recent years. It's not a foolproof explanation, but given the timing of Markakis' resurgence, it makes sense. Even if you don't buy it completely, you can't deny that Markakis averaged about as many Head-to-Head points per game as top-five outfielder Adam Jones in 2012. For that reason, he's a bargain if he drops out of the top 30 outfielders on Draft Day. (Updated 12/4/12) |
