Brian Roberts went 0-for-3 against the Tigers on Wednesday, leaving him 2-for-17 this spring. It sounds like Roberts need only get through the spring healthy in order to ensure himself a starting job, but it's not like he was particularly good offensively (.249/.312/.392 in 265 AB) or defensively for the Orioles last season. The Yankees will let him prove himself in April, but there's no reason to give him too much rope if he doesn't hit.
