True DJ. Tejada and Lopez were great signings. It would be nice to see the O's compete again, however, you also have to look at the divison they are in. With NY and Boston having open wallets, Baltimore just can't compete in that division.

Raffy, (and it's said every year and sometime it will come true) is on his last legs and I don't see him being much of a force next year, but for the price he isn't bad.

Ponson is just scary, he's too streaky and considering the O's need pitching badly, too expensive for the role he has. The O's could find a better and perhaps younger pitcher for $7 Mill. I think Ponson's got at most a $5 mill. long relief/spot starter arm, at best maybe a 3rd -5th starter, but that's just my take on the guy. I know he had some injuries and is making a comeback so we'll see. At one time he was dangerous.
