Excitement is mutual for Beckham, Orioles
(MLB.com Baltimore Orioles)

Before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Orioles were in pursuit of a reliable option at shortstop for the stretch run of the regular season. When the O`s acquired Tim Beckham from the Rays, they weren`t sure what to expect from the 27-year-old former No. 1 Draft pick. Just over a month later, Beckham has exceeded the club`s expectations.
