Do you know anything about our pitching situation?
Have you heard the names Riley, Ainesworth, Dubose? They will be three young guys making up 3/5 of our rotation.
Have you heard of Bedard, Stephens, Bautista, Maine? They are major prospects at Ottawa and Bowie, all of whom could see time in Baltimore before the end of the year.
Have you heard of Adam Lowean? He is our top pitching prospect and could be ready by mid-2005.
The team is about to resign Sidney Ponson, and already has Rodrigo Lopez.
The team's pitching is in good shape. If you want to watch your team overpay in money and players for old pitchers, go be a Sox or Yankees fan. They might be good for two more years, but both are old and neither has a decent farm system anymore, so they will collapse hard and fast.
