    stuff don't equal wins pal. you been handicapping long enough to know that LT.

    Ubaldo's mechanics make it hard to repeat his delivery thus causing his command to suffer.

    He had a great second half of the season last year and he was awesome with the Rockies for about 2 seasons but the guy is extremely inconsistent because everything has to be perfectly insync with his delivery or his control will be off and he will either walk hitters or leave the ball over the middle of the plate belt high and get his titties ripped off.

    He's got waaaaayyy too many moving parts in that delivery. I am rooting for him though i just don't consider him a sure thing by any means.

    I'm surprised a pitching coach hasn't already tried to get him to tone down that wind-up so he can repeat his delivery easier.

    He's got a million dollar arm and a 2 cent head.

    As a lifetime O's fan I donot like the move. However if there is anybody that can alter your career for the better, it is Buck Showalter. Wish him well with the birds.

    Tillman will be the opening day starter.

    Ubaldo is the #2 starter on this team.

    Doubtful. Jimenez will almost certainly start opening day. And I short-changed him, O's gave him 50 million, not 48 million. I laugh because when you get to that level, is there really any difference between 40 million and 100 million?

    Fifth starter for the time being.

    Per Rotoworld:

    1 Ubaldo Jimenez
    2 Chris Tillman
    3 Wei-Yin Chen
    4 Miguel Gonzalez
    5 Bud Norris

    Then again, they have Yoon listed as a relief pitcher, so yeah, Norris probably gets bumped if they decide to put Yoon in the rotation. He was versatile in Korea, filling just about every pitching role at one time or another.
