I think the Orioles met everyones expectations this year. They finished third and showed some signs they are only a player here and player there away. They finished third in hitting and seventh in pitching in the AL. They broke club records for team hitting average, hits, and doubles. The offense is there. The pitching is there too but it is not ready. The Orioles need to look at signing at least one veteran pitcher (perhaps Pedro, C. Pavano). The bullpen is pretty solid. If the Orioles decide that B.J. Ryan will be the closer, I would like to see them sign some lefty of the wire.
With Segui, Daal, and Cordova's contracts running out, the Orioles can afford to add another big bat in the lineup. They could go for Carlos Delgado to upgrade at first but I would much rather see them upgrade the outfield. Bigbie seems to be the only promising outfielder we have. Matos and Bigbie are always getting hurt. We will have to see more of Newhan to see if he is for real. They can move Gibbons to first (or bring back Palmiero) and try to sign one of these studs: Carlos Beltran, Magglio Ordonez, J.D. Drew, or Jeromy Burnitz.
The Orioles may not bring back Palmiero but I think it would be a mistake not to bring Surhoff back. This guy can still hit, he makes clutch hits, and above all, he brings veteran leadership and example to our young outfield.
I think it was the right thing to do by bringing back Mazz. He had a terrific second half and who ever made the move to bring back Ray Miller was a terrific move. Mazz and his guys have done an excellent job to close the season.
Well, good bye 2004 Orioles. I can't wait for the 2005 season.
