How about some good news for Baltimore Oriole fans out there.

According to the Baltimore Sun, Orioles’ 2B Brian Roberts hasn’t experienced concussion-like symptoms in two weeks and right now he is feeling the best he has in almost six months. Roberts suffered a concussion on May 16th against the Boston Red Sox and was limited to only 39 games in 2011. The concussion was Roberts’ second in a span of eight months.

If Roberts can come back and regain any semblance of his 2005 – 2009 form in which he averaged a .294/.369/.451 slash line with 13 HR’s and 37 SB’s, then that would be a major boost to the Orioles. Roberts has only played in 98 games the last two seasons, so any production he can potentially give them in 2012 would be a plus.

Roberts has two years and $20 million left on the four-year, $40 million extension he signed back in 2009.
