Here's a litte of a piece for MASNSports.com last week about Brian Roberts, Oriole second baseman.
***
It's been a frustrating past two seasons for Brian Roberts. For the most part, he's one the most prominent faces of the franchise and the longest-tenured Oriole on the roster.
However, he's not played much due to back issues, concussions and various illnesses that have popped up. It's been a hard road for the second baseman and I'm sure Roberts must be far angrier by the state of his own affairs than even the most ardent Orioles fan.
At the moment, he is on the seven-day disabled list with concussion symptoms. According to various reports, Roberts has not resumed physical activity for baseball and may not be ready to play as he is due to come off the disabled list today.
Roberts mentioned to the media over the weekend that he's not sure when he'll play again. It's like there's been one thing or another keeping him off the field recently.
Simply put, the Orioles need him healthy to improve their offensive output this season. It was no secret that when Roberts was healthy last season, he played a role with the impressive run by the Orioles in the final two months.
