Orioles named Lee Mazzilli manager and signed him to a two-year contract with two one-year club options.
Mazzilli, who had been the Yankees' first base coach, becomes a major league manager for the first time. He went 220-197 in three seasons as a minor league manager for the Yankees. Mazzilli has said he'd like to emphasize team speed, so his hiring might lead to more stolen bases. However, not much figures to change in Baltimore
