Orioles POST & EXP needs EXP--another ace SP, 1995 Mike Mussina, need an Orioles card EXP--an ace RP, maybe 2005 BJ Ryan EXP--a choice at catcher somewhere between Hoiles and Dempsey POST--need a decent 2b
Harold Baines. 1993 season. I know that there is no love for pure DHs and that Baines already has three cards, but his passage in Baltimore should have a card. .313/.390/.510 slash, 137 OPS+. 3R (.328/.408/.534 against righties). Okay, he's a 4 injury, but some of us like the challenge of using injury-prone players...plus it reduces his prices considerably. HIs card: http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/2732/1690/1/90
Ken Singleton 1977. He finished third in the MVP. A huge upgrade over what we have now. .328/.438/.507. 165 OPS+ The guy finished in the top 10 in MVP four times and not one of those seasons is represented.
I feel strongly about Ken Singleton 1977. This is not a fluke year. He was a great player severely underpresented in SOM, and he plays SOM and talks it about as a broadcaster, so I'll show him the love.
For P let's go with 2006 BJ Ryan - far better than 2005, and he has no card . 857 whip. This would give the Orioles a great relief option I understand this is somewhat of a fluke year, but we already have Mussina 1995 and Potter 1945 on the list,
