Fontenot and Matos

David Pinto at Baseball Musings has a an item about second baseman Mike Fontenot. Afterwards David credits Terry Crowley for appreciating Fontenot's patience.
In credit to the Crow it's worth noting an article from last year about Luis Matos:

So with the Orioles developing a new math this season, placing a greater emphasis on plate discipline and on-base percentage, Matos has been a quick study.

It would seem that this is a second data point that the O's are starting to realize the value of getting on base.
