Brian Roberts (concussion) recently told the Baltimore Sun that he was feeling better than at any time in the past six months. Roberts, who didn't play again this season after suffering a concussion on May 16, was recently symptom-free for two weeks for the first time since the incident. "We have friends who tell me they can't believe how much better I look than I did even in September," Roberts said last week. "I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be feeling normal." Concussion specialist Michael Collins expects Roberts' health and conditioning to be normal by the start of spring training, but setbacks are certainly possible.
