The Orioles sent top prospect Matt Wieters to Class AAA Norfolk to begin the season, but there is a buzz in Baltimore about the catcher.

"I hope I'm around long enough to be his manager for a long time," manager Dave Trembley said. "This guy's going to be something, man."

The praise isn't just coming from the coaching staff either.

"If you're a proficient catcher and you can hit, you're going to elevate yourself to the top of the game. You stand apart," catcher Chad Moeller said.
