How many of the bats are FA next year for you guys?
I feel like maybe get some SP / Bullpen
Orioles have hit well imo this year.


besides vlad, i am pretty sure everyone is back, including a healthy Luke Scott.
I think we still could use some more consistent pieces on our offense, but they are not nearly our biggest problem imo.
Wieters, Jones, Markakis, Hardy , Reynolds, is a pretty decent start to an offense. And lets say Wieters or Jones have an even bigger breakout season.

But we could certainly use another high average/obp kind of guy.

Our pitching is still a train wreck though until these young pitchers step up

another thing. The Orioles are almost a lot like the Jays in which we have that HR power but the Jays actually have some legit OBP guys. We do not. As much as i love Hardy, Reynolds, Jones: they are not high OBP guys and really should be 5-6-7 hitters imo. We should really take a look at how the yankees and sox have set up their offense with these kind of players that get on base. We NEED to at least get 1 or 2 more players that get on base at a higher amount than .320 OBP

Josh Willingham ( besides the K's and shitty defense ) and Casey Kotchman would be nice low cost pick ups for the O's

i would not mind either. Although rays are going to keep Kotchman i think.

Reimold is fine, but let him earn it next year instead of just giving it to him.
Markakis is the one guy i left out because we know he can be that kinda guy, we still need more though.
Angle needs to step it up to have a shot at making the team in any starting fashion. Otherwise he will either be the 4th OF or be in AAA again

Markakis has a career .365 OBP
Reimold is near .380 OBP in the minor leagues.
For a leadoff guy, Roberts has a sub-par OBP.
Angle would fit nicely at the top.

If anything, Angle and Reimold should platoon LF next year, and Scott should be our DH.
