  1. It was 1986 I am from NJ and I was turned off by the Yankees and I was indifferent to the Mets. A friend of mine and I were talking about baseball, and as a result of that conversation I fell in love with the Cartoon Oriole hat. Some of my favorite memories from back then were regarding Eric Bell and Larry Sheets. Eric Bell was a left handed starter who I thought had a lot of potential and Larry Sheets was a lefthanded hitting OF/DH who had some pop in his bat. I had selected both of them on my Micro League Baseball team. The program simulated games based on projecting past stats to future out comes. However, it did not factor small sample sizes well, and as a result over a full season, Eric Bell performed like a CY Young and Sheets like an MVP. They made me look like a fantasy genious! Not sure what happened to Eric Bell, but Larry Sheets had some good years and I met him at a fan fest. I have been an avid Oriole and Fantasy baseball fan since.
  2. This is why it is important to keep aquiring depth. Adding a DH like Guerrero, allows OF Depth by moving Scott to LF. Remember Reimold and Pie had injuries last year. Adding a SP like Francis allows more pitching depth in case of injuries, or setbacks.It also makes it easier to prevent injuries by having more options and being able to control innings picthed. Finally, our infield is much improved, but adding someone like Cantu allows more depth in the IF. He can play 1st 2nd or 3rd.
