Is there a better top of the order than the O's? (1 Viewer)

[Scotch Rocks]

Leadoff: Brian Roberts.

2nd: Adam Jones.

3 hole: Nick Markakis.

I think all three of these guys could end the year .300 with 40+ (HRs + SBs)

Admittedly, 4 through 9, we may be the league's worst. And our rotation is a tragedy. And don't get me started on our bullpen. But it's still worth watching the games just to see these guys come to the plate 12+ times a game.

Not to mention Huff was pretty damn awesome last year and when Wieters comes up its gonna be pretty tough 1 through 5.

They are good.

 

[Man In The Box]

Top four are 9-12 so far tonight.

 

[Homer @ RJ]

Upton

Crawford

Longoria

With their defense included, I wouldn't trade them for another 3.

Also, with the lack of pitching, you tend to see higher scoring games from both sides. Should be fun to watch the numbers they put up this season.
