Triple-A Norfolk catcher Omir Santos, 27, said it would be easy to get caught up in the constant excitement around the team regarding players being called up from the Tides to the Orioles. "You always think about it, but you can't think about it that much," Santos said. "Because if you think about [going to the Orioles], you'll mess up here and start doing bad. If you do your work here, someone will sooner or later give you a chance [in the majors]." The native of Toa Baja, Dominican Republic, has taken his own advice since May 4, when he became the Tides' regular catcher after Chris Heintz went on the disabled list with a sprained left thumb.

FREDERICK -- He towers over his peers but moves so fluidly that you hardly notice. His easy swing produces thunderous home runs to the opposite field. He maintains a relaxed grin as he signs autographs for lines of fans who probably couldn't name most of his teammates. The Orioles knew Matt Wieters was an advanced prospect when they drafted the catcher and signed him to a team-record $6 million bonus last summer. But the former Georgia Tech athlete has exceeded even their expectations in his professional debut, laying waste to the Single-A Carolina League as the No. 3 hitter for the Frederick Keys.
