jim. nolan reimold is the exact example of a home grope success story that the orioles have been looking for and hoping for, and looks like few they have it. he was jordan's first draft picks back in 2005. he came up up there the system. he wasn't a highly-touted prospect until he started hitting a couple of years ago, because he had some injuries. he was patient, he was determined, and now 45 days into his big league career, he has been named the american league rookie of the month for june, and it hasn't just been june. right now, he is dominating rookies as far as batting categories. he is leading american league rookies in batting average, home runs, on base percentage, and also slugging percentage, and i talked to nolan about the fact he came up with a group of rookies, with brad bergesen and matt wieters, and how having them here has helped him. >> once matt got up here, he's the guy who gets all of the attention, so i was left to just do my thing, and i think that helps out a lot, and i think having us all together up here at the same time really also helps us be comfortable, and when you're comfortable, then you start playing well. being up in the
