 FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Brian Roberts took a powerful swing, and the ball dribbled down the third-base line.
"Woo!" shouted teammate Jeff Conine, quite sarcastically.
The results may not have been pretty, but the event was noteworthy: For the first time since undergoing elbow surgery 5 1/2 months ago, Roberts batted against a pitcher Wednesday, a key development in his quest to start at second base for the Baltimore Orioles on opening day.
