Probably my biggest annoyance of the 2010 season for the Baltimore Orioles, was that I anticipated ending the year with less long-term questions about the roster.

Here in mid-June, the questions have seemingly only increased.

However, Jake Arrieta and David Hernandez are quickly emerging as answers. It is not just Arrieta’s impressive arsenal, it is his attitude that he belongs. It is not just that Hernandez is throwing 98-99mph out of the bullpen, it is how comfortable he looks in that capacity.

The next-step for both is seeing how they handle some adversity.
