Nice little write-up on what David Golebiewski at FanGraphs refers to as the Orioles' "Extreme Makeover: Infield Edition":
FanGraphs: Orioles Add Derrek Lee
"Runs shouldn’t be so hard to come by for Baltimore next season. Lee joins Mark Reynolds, J.J. Hardy and a presumably healthier Brian Roberts (limited to 59 games due to a herniated disc in his back) in an infield that should produce considerably more in 2011. Add in some progression from Matt Wieters and Adam Jones, plus a modestly better year from Nick Markakis, and the O’s could have a pretty solid offense.... the Orioles have significantly improved their offense without making outlandish long-term commitments or surrendering prime prospects. They’re clearly a better team now than they were in November, and there’s no reason to think they’ve compromised their long-term rebuilding effort."
