Baltimore Sports and Life projects the Orioles 2009 everyday lineup

I think the O’s will break-camp with Moeller as the backup Catcher, Zaun starting, and Wieters in AAA.

However, I expect Wieters to be in the O’s lineup as the starter, by the third week of April… so I am going to show Zaun as the backup Catcher, and Wieters as the de-facto projected starter.

Roberts 2nd
Jones CF
Markakis RF
Huff 1st
Mora 3rd
Scott DH
Wieters C
Pie LF
Izturis SS

Bench
Zaun, Freel, Wigginton, Montanez / Gomez, Murphy
