Jerry Dipoto may be fresh off crafting one of the most thrilling offseasons in Angels history — landing both Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, trading for Chris Iannetta and extending the contract of Howie Kendrick — but the work never stops.

Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette has dramatically restructured the scouting and Minor League development operations, reassigning a large portion of professional scouts to the amateur side and rearranging those already in the organization in roles that best suited their strengths.

Mark Buehrle retired six straight before a three-run third and final inning and Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer as Miami christened Marlins Park with a 7-6 walk-off win over the University of Miami.

That dark tunnel for the New York Mets is becoming gloomier these days, and it is courtesy of everything from legal woes regarding the Bernard Madoff fraud case to trying to reverse three straight fourth-place finishes in the National League East. Still, there is light light in that tunnel: the new fences at Citi Field.

After nearly two weeks of a gradual rehab process, Indians closer Chris Perez was allowed to pick up a baseball again on Tuesday morning.

Andre Ethier homered off left-hander Barry Zito Tuesday. That's two good signs for the Dodgers outfielder. Ethier is coming off September knee surgery that was hoped would return the power to the left-handed slugger, who dropped 12 home runs and 20 RBIs from 2010.

Reds pitcher Mat Latos has seemed to settle in at camp with his status as a new guy on a different team. One of the few issues Latos encountered thus far was returning to his old Spring Training complex on Tuesday to pitch in his first game vs. the Mariners. Seattle and Latos' former Padres team share the same facility.

A man who routinely puts great distance between launch and landing did so in a different manner Tuesday morning.
