Baltimore Orioles

This is the first team that I will be analyzing for my team analysis. This is a good team so it will be posted on the Home page and MLB page.

Baltimore Orioles: Last Year was a great year for the Orioles as they were a surprising team and ended up making the playoffs. We haven't heard much from these guys from the off-season so my thought is they are very happy with there team and want to try again for a World Series Title.

Starting Pitching: 3/5- There really not any superstar pitchers on this team but there are some reliable pitchers on there team that can and will be able to go 6+ innings and give up 1-2 runs.

Bullpen 4/5- There bullpen if decently good but if they have to go in at inning 4 that's where there might be a few problems.But if their starting pitchers hold up and go 6+ innings like I said above there are going to win a lot of games, especially with a veteran in Jim Johnson who saved 51 games last season.

Fielding 3.5/5- With them bringing in an veteran Cassilla who is pretty good in defense, plus with their star center fielder Adam Jones, I don't see them making too many errors.

Hitting 4.5/5- They have got some explosive bats on this offense. With Adam Jones putting up some good numbers, to Matt Wieters getting a hot bat at the end of the season. Also watch out for Machado who was their rookie 3rd baseman last year, he will steal a lot of base and probably not hit a lot of homeruns. They also have J.J Hardy who is an all around hitter who can have a good bat bat at times

Overall 4/5- This year will be an amazing year for the Orioles the one problem they might have is that bullpen there starting pitchers will really need to go at least 5 for a good performance from their pen.
Record-95-67 with a Division Title (Sorry Yanks)
