semiotter Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Heys guys besides being a big REDS FAN im also a big ORIOLES fan and with the newly acquired SLAMMY SOSA do you think we can contend in the always tough AL EAST?? Hey look at this batting lineup!!! Brian Roberts 2b Melvin Mora 3b Sammy Sosa of Miguel Tejada (the best ss in baseball) Javy Lopez c Rafael Palmeiro 1b-dh Jay Gibbons of Larry Bigbie of David Newhan ofHey what you think is that enough to contend in this DIV.?? I think so we still havePONSON who had a better second half of the season and some good young pitchers here(Julio and Cabrera). Plus they picked up to VET. rel. pitchers. So come on let me know what ya think , give me some hope. Both my teams are looking alot better this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 You need some pitching bad!!! That is an impressive lineup, though. Just like I said about the reds, if they can stay healthy, that is one scary lineup, but even our piitching is better. Your also in a tough div, so I'd say they' win ab out 80-85 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan33 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 No way will you all compete in that division until you get PITCHING! You all have one of the most powerful lineups in baseball, but you must have solid pitching to go with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGrizzlyBaer Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 yeah competing against the yankees and the redsocks is pretty tough... though its a nice lineup you gotta top those two teams first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalsDomination Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 No way, need pitching, just like the reds. BTW the reds will win the wild card this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brew Man Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Yep, pitching is the key for Baltimore, nice lineup though.....looks like an all star lineup from 2000.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semiotter Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Reds have a better lineup this year than baltimore. Lets see, at 1st you got CASEY .324 34 hrs. 99 RBIs and a good glove. Os have Palmeiro .258 23 and 86 , good glove but 11 years older than Casey. So the Reds get a slight nod at 1st. At second base we have another close call. Jimenez a good young player. .270 12 hr 67 rbi. about avg for 2nd base. The Os have a good lead off man in Brian Roberts. .273 4 hr. 53 rbi. 29 sb. Lets call it a tie. At ss is no contest. With the Orioles having "THE B E S T" SS in baseball in the great Tejada .311 34 hr 150 rbi. And the reds are still looking for a ss. At 3b we got Melvin Mora what year he had .340 27 104. The reds just got Joe Randa. He has been a good player for some time. But the Os get the nod here to. At catcher the Os have J. Lopez .316 23 86 a great catcher. The Reds have Jason Larue .251 14 55. So you got to give the Orioles that one. Wow do the Reds have some pitching. Milton, Ortiz, Wilson, Hudson and Harang. Plus alot of new REL. Pitching. The REDS have better pitching here but the Os still have Ponson and some good young arms plus some new REL. pitchers on their staff which is not so weak. Oh yea I almost forgot the outfield. The REDS have one of the best in baseball how can you not like DUNN, GRIFFEY, KEARNS and PENA. But the Orioles have a good one to with Larry Bigbie, J.Gibbons and newly accuired Sammy Sosa. But its hard to beat that REDS outfield when healthy. Thats the big part. With Kearns and Griffey out for much of the season. So there you have it you have a good point but I dont see where they are that much better. Will see cuz on JUNE 10-11-12 the are coming to the NATTI and im going to try to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
