2011 Baltimore Orioles

[DiamondDave]

Making a push for another shot at another title. One and only one big offseason move... the addition of highly rated SP Jerome Williams.... this should make my rotation amund the elite, if not the best in the league... in combination with my already potent offense, this should give me a great shot again this season...

The other 'move' this off season was letting Tony Alvarez go to free agency, for Delmon Young is ready for the majors.... huge power potential from Young, should give some added pop to the lineup at the 6 position...

Anywho... here's the outlook

Rotation
1) R J. Wiliams - 4 star
2) L D. Meyer - 4 star
3) R J. Rincon - 4 star
4) R J. Stumm - 3.5 star
5) L P. Maholm - 2.5 star

Bullpen
Mopup Reliever
1) L C. George - 3.5 stars
2) R M. Albers - 2.5 stars

Middle Reliever
1) R H. Engelman - 3.5 stars
2) L C. George
3) R H. Wilner - 3.5 stars
4) L A. Munoz - 4.5 stars

Setup Reliever
1) R H. Wilner
2) L A. Munoz

Closer
1) L J. Bong - 4.5 stars

Lineup
1) R E. Encarnacion 3B - 3.5 star
2) R S. Victorino CF - 3 star
3) L J. Loney 1B - 4 star
4) R J. Huber C - 4.5 star
5) L L. Broadway DH - 2.5 star
6) R D. Young RF - 3.5 prospect star
7) R A. Gonzalez SS - 3 star
8) R R. Gorecki LF - 2.5 star
9) R J. Nix 2B - 2.5 star

Bench has some very good speedy defensive players (Ertl), as well as some power (Nash), and even an all around guy who could probably be starting (Rivas)....

All in all, even with overpaying for Williams.. I am pleased, very pleased, with the overall look of this team... even some insurance policies at AAA if injuries happen to the SP staff again....

Dave, why is it that Jerome spit at the Rockies when I offered him a deal and he signs with you to be your 3rd best SP.
