Now I've got the optimism bug again (had it in April).<br />The next question is... what if the pitching also improves? What if the Orioles sign Mark Buehrle, Strop, Phillips, and Patton perform well next year... Kevin Gregg reverts to his career average (which I think he will as a seventh inning guy)... are we looking at a playoff contender or am I dreaming.kgwillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297681911006812053noreply@blogger.com
