The Baltimore Orioles may be a last place team, but they have some talent. Their lineup is tough from top to bottom, and has a lot of speed and power. The one problem is their pitching staff, but in the last week they have had 3 youngsters come up from AAA and show they have some real good young talent coming up. They will also call up the #1 prospect in baseball (according to some) on Friday (catcher Matt Wieters).
The Tigers were bad today.
The offense stunk, they left guys stranded on 3rd in back to back innings with less than 1 out.
Galarraga was definitely better, but still made too many bad pitches. The Orioles made sure that they capitalized on those mistakes.
The Tigers send Dontrelle to the mound Friday night, and they will need a better overall team performance.
Orioles 5 Tigers 1
Even publications that do not have Wieters as the number one overall prospect agree that he is the undisputed top catching prospect, and arguably the top position player. Kid hit .355 with 27 HR and 91 RBI in his first minor league season last year and so far this year in AAA was hitting .305 with 5 HR and 30 RBI. The kid can rake.
