    Create-a-Caption: Buck Showalter accommodates autograph requests for three Amish gentlemen

    Orioles manager Buck Showalter signs an autograph for three Amish gentlemen who did not want to give their names …

    So I've landed in Florida for my half of our Grapefruit League Spring Swing and I have to say that I hadn't planned on visiting the Baltimore Orioles this year. I may have to reconsider, however, if the O's first exhibition opponent is a team from Amish country. (And yes, this is probably the best C-a-C picture we'll get from spring training.)

    So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

    Follow the jump for winners from our last C-a-C featuring Jim Leyland and Tony La Russa.

    1st —Brad. JL. "Well management said we got a new big-time tiger, but i was expecting Prince, not a real tiger.

    TL- Hey Jim? You should probably get your guys off the field. Now.

    2nd — Shawn. Do you still have those Tom Emanski videos? cause you are going to need them with this infield.

    3rd — Szuless. "Hey Jim, do you need a Defensive Coordinator?"

    HM — Mulvi. "No Tony, I don't do double-switches for the first spring workout."

      In the Amish religion it is a sin to hold balls like that.

      Yeah, we haven't changed much in a long time, either.

      In their biggest off-season move in a decade, the Orioles trade three horses and a buggy for RHP Jacob Stolzfus and a quilt to be named later.

      What's not said, is that interstate system isn't very horse and buggy friendly.

      Sporting his new beard, Brent Musburger shows the press his new "Barn Ball" pitch; Guaranteed to change your pitching staff in a day. Impressed, Showalter pencils him in as the starting pitcher.

      Hey, Buck the Orioles and the Amish have something in common: we both have no power!

      OK cool, a righty and a lefty for the bullpen. What about you Isaac? I'm thinking shortstop and leading off. Sound good?

      "The Amish just heard the orioles got a new owner Peter Angelos and decided to check a game out."
