Will Trachsel help ease the pain of losing Benson.Who will be the biggest
surprise?.Who will be the biggest bust?.Lets go gang lets make some
noise here.!!!!!

Biggest Surprise?: Aubrey Huff - .280/40/100.... Jay Gibbons - .275/30/70... Daniel Cabrera - 17-7, 2.58 ERA
Biggest Bust?: Melvin Mora - .260/15/50... Corey Patterson - .265/10/40, 22 SB

Well, who do you guys think will get the last 3 openings on the roster (2 bullpen slots, 1 bench slot)?

I'm saying our opening day roster will look like this:

1. Brian Roberts, 2B
2. Melvin Mora, 3B
3. Nick Markakis, RF
4. Miguel Tejada, SS
5. Aubrey Huff, LF
6. Jay Gibbons, DH
7. Ramon Hernandez, C
8. Kevin Millar, 1B
9. Corey Patterson, CF

BN- Paul Bako, C
BN- Chris Gomez, IF
BN- Jay Payton, OF
BN- Freddie Bynum, UTIL

SP- Erik Bedard
SP- Daniel Cabrera
SP- Steve Trachsel
SP- Adam Loewen
SP- Jaret Wright

LR- Hayden Penn
MR- Todd Williams
MR- Chad Bradford
MR- Scott Williamson
MR- Jamie Walker
SU- Danys Baez
CL- Chris Ray

Personally... I doubt we have anyone approaching 40 HR's

I don't see Mora staying in the 2 hole, that spot seems destined for Patterson

My biggest suprise: Markakis as a possible All Star team represenative
My biggest bust: Jay Payton batting near the Mendoza line

If Gibbons was ever at 100% for a full season, he could easily smack between 25-35 homers....

Of course, it remains to be seen if he can stay healthy.

Anyone else extremely ready for 2007 O's baseball?

This is a pivotal year for SAM PERLOZZO as a manager.

MIGGI is happy with the BIRDS off-season acquisitions!!

BIG LOW needs to step up and contribute as a starter.
