The Orioles will give an honest effort all year. There won't be any quit in them.

is that really their batting order? yahoo shows this
1. 2B Brian Roberts
2. RF Nick Markakis
3. 1B Derrek Lee
4. DH Vladimir Guerrero(notes)
5. LF Luke Scott
6. CF Adam Jones
7. 3B Mark Reynolds
8. C Matt Wieters
9. SS J.J. Hardy

I like that lineup a lot better. However I wonder how Derek Lee is going to hold up? He's old and inconsistent at this point. I like 1,2,4,5,6,8 and Hardy is good for a 9.

Lee, and Reynolds are huge questions marks at their slots. It's tough to say HR's are overrated but in Reynolds case they are. It's a HR or a strike out that doesn't advance any runners for this guy.

yeah they have a couple OKAY players... better than the scrubs they had. I think they could mess someones season up but dont see them coming close to making play offs

As long as the vets play for Buck, they should improve. Pitching is young, but getting better. I like the Over 70 wins

There will be A LOT of games where this team has value facing the AL East.
