Wow i did not know markstrom would be allowed to participate due to him being under contract to his team in sweden but man i hope they get some video of this. Just like matt wieters's made his debut for the O's this week. The anticipation (well at least for me) is the same for markstrom.

George, did the Herald splurge and send you there? Would be nice to get some insight on the prospects. Curious about Evgeni Dadonov, He was available mainly because most teams are afraid to take Russians without an agreement with Russia. Would also like to know how Salak performs, from what I read this guy could give Markstrom a run for the money. Thanks for the updates.

ha...no, wish I was up there though...sounds like it could be a lot of fun and I would have liked to have seen some of these young guys and how they perform without the pressures of training camp on them...
