Did you miss the poll I started already? -

I think this is a very good point. This is his first GM gig and he is handicapped by a remarkably dysfunction ownership group. He's done some really good things for this organization but getting this team to be a contender may take more than he brings to the table. -
Didn't even know USA Today still existed. F them. -
I don't really care how the other teams in the AL East perform and I don't think it really matters whether the Orioles come in third or fourth. I think last year's Orioles team over performed. I think this year's team is more talented and has more depth at the ML and minor league level. I expect this year's team to win about as many games as last year's team, plus or minus a few wins (but hope it is on the plus side). I will see this year's team as a success as long as the young players make progress (it will be a mixed bag, but hopefully more positives than negatives), prospects are promoted and given playing time when deserving (really deserving, screw manipulating service time, that's a gamble that the house usually wins, and screw giving playing time to washed up veterans), and the team plays with competence and heart. The only thing the Orioles can do about the other teams in the AL East is to beat the crap out of them...and I'll be extra satisfied if that happens. -

WC, I honestly do love your optimism but OMG "Its not hard for me to see why he was signed." If OBP was the metric driving this acquisition, then the answer should have been Vavra. If the ability to drive in runs was the metric then it should have been Westburg over Frazier every day, even on Sundays. If defense was the metric then Ortiz should have been the choice. I haven't even considered Urias and his supposedly bum knee carrying over from last season so we did an in case of fire break glass signing. If so, they don't cost $8M. This is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, there is no rational justification. Sorry -

I think Bradish is going to vault himself into a pretty clear #2 starter this year. The stuff is huge, he racks up Ks, he's aggressive, and he got a lot of experience last year. -
I was reading that apparently he has a support group that prevents him from doing this.
