O’s improved with acquisitions of Gonzalez, and Atkins
The announced signings of Mike Gonzalez, and Garret Atkins only increase my excitement for the O's 2010 season.Even without Gonzalez, the bullpen figured to be improved with the additions of Mickolio, Hernandez, Berken, and Uehara; not to mention the benefits of an...
If the O’s obtain Rodney, Atkins, and Delgado
The individual merits of signing Rodney, Atkins, and Delgado will continue to be debated; but if they are signed, where are the O's as a team for 2010? Millwood, Matusz, Tillman, Bergesen, Guthrie *Put them in the order you want, that is the rotation. Rodney Johnson...
Will Garrett Atkins land in Baltimore?
Now that Garrett Atkins has been non-tendered (offered a contract by the arbitration deadline), you have to wonder how hard the O's will pursue Atkins for 3rd base in 2010. Atkins is coming off of a horrible 2009 season, where he posted a .650 OPS, with a .228 batting...

Discussion of the O’s Winter Meetings Rumors
You know the Winter Meetings are in full-swing, when message boards and the blog-o-sphere are in overload with rumors and conjecture. With all of the instantaneous options for news, combined with an insatiable appetite for information from the public; you have a...
Harden, Beltre, Delgado, Soriano, Gonzalez
To be clear, I would be comfortable with the O's if they decided to make zero-additions this off-season. I believe you can upgrade the bullpen internally with Uehara, Mickolio, Berken, and Hernandez. I believe if you do not have Eaton, Hill, Hendrickson, and Berken...
