The Baltimore Orioles appear to be on the verge of hiring former big league pitching coach Rick Peterson, reports Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. Peterson reportedly has interviewed twice with the Orioles this offseason, including meeting once with manager Buck Showalter and pitching coach Rick Adair. Connolly said Peterson would technically fill the Orioles' vacant minor league pitching coordinator position, though the role will likely will be re-titled by GM Dan Duquette and include additional responsibilities. The 57-year-old Peterson, known for blending biomechanical research into his work, previously served as pitching coach of the Athletics, Mets and Brewers. - Doug Mittler 2. 10:04am Baltimore's search for pitching Plenty of teams are looking to add starting pitching, even if the number of available free agents is thinning out. Among those with a glaring need is the Baltimore Orioles, and Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com says that makes the O's a "team to watch" over the next month. The Orioles finished last in the majors last season in starters' ERA and the only addition in that area is Japanese free-agent left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada. There was a report in Friday's Baltimore Sun that the Orioles have had multiple conversations with free agent Joe Saunders. The Orioles would like to land Edwin Jackson, but GM Dan Duquette is against handing out the four-year deal that Jackson is seeking. They can likely get Saunders at shorter terms. There also is some buzz that the Orioles and Braves haven't closed the door on a blockbuster deal for Jair Jurrjens that would involve Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones. A report last month said the Orioles were against a deal involving Jones. Rosenthal suggest Paul Maholm, who could be landed at a reasonable cost after the southpaw went 6-14 with a 3.66 ERA for the Pirates last season. - Doug Mittler 3. 1:53pm Several clubs eye Scott The Baltimore Orioles non-tendered Luke Scott earlier this week -- not surprising considering his projected salary and the fact that he had surgery late last summer -- and several clubs showed immediate interest in signing him, including the O's tweeted Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. Roch Kubatko tweets Tuesday that as many as 11 clubs are considering Scott, and that the O's have yet to contact the player's representatives. There's no word who those linked teams are but Scott could make sense on a number of American League clubs, potentially including the Oakland Athletics, Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians, Seattle Mariners and Tampa Bay Rays. Scott's main competition may be the likes of Hideki Matsui, Vladimir Guerrero, Raul Ibanez, Russell Branyan and Xavier Nady, none of which have signed yet. Scott's shoulder surgery isn't expected to keep him from being ready for spring training, according to multiple reports earlier this winter stemming from a positive visit to Dr. James Andrews for a check-up. - Jason A.

The club continues their focus on pitching, writes Ken Rosenthal Tuesday. Names mentioned in the report include Joe Saunders, Paul Maholm, Edwin Jackson and Taiwanese left-hander Chen-Wei Yin, whom the O's have been linked to since last month. Rosenthal notes that veterans Hiroki Kuroda and Roy Oswalt are not likely targets for the Orioles, nor vice versa, as both are seeking deals with contending clubs. - Jason A. Churchill 5. 4:09pm Jones' fate with O's The Baltimore Orioles have options with centerfielder Adam Jones. He's due a raise via arbitration and is two years from free agency, but he's a valued commodity, and could bring back the starting pitching GM Dan Duquette covets. Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun writes Tuesday that the O's, despite their search for another outfielder, are not set on dealing Jones and could still extend his contract, perhaps buying out a free agent year or two. The Braves' apparent offer of right-hander Jair Jurrjens, infielder/outfielder Martin Prado and a pitching prospect wasn't enough. Connolly suggests the Orioles might be open to a deal that includes Tommy Hanson, though they may prefer to see him pitch first as he's coming off a shoulder injury. The Washington Nationals are another club looking for a centerfielder, though they sent away much of their young starting pitching depth -- what the Orioles are believed to want in return for Jones -- when they acquired lefty Gio Gonzalez from Oakland. A multi-year answer for Jones could be something along the lines of what the Phillies gave Shane Victorino two years ago, plus inflation. Something in the neighborhood of 3-4 years at $8 million per sounds about right. Whether the Orioles want to pay that is another story. - Jason A.
