The Orioles have about $40MM committed before arbitration raises to Scott,
GUthrie, and a few others. They should land in the low 40s after starting with
a $67MM payroll. There is cash to play with for a few reasonably-priced free
agents.
Like the Pirates, the O's seem better off making their free agent strike a
year from now. With the way this club is stacking up, the AL East could be
even more competitive in years to come.
For 2010, Wigginton could take either infield corner and Scott could be an
option at first base. Brandon Snyder and Michael Aubrey may also merit
consideration. The O's added their third baseman of the future in Josh Bell
with the George Sherrill trade. With the corners and DH spot in flux next
year, it may make sense for the Orioles to add a free agent. Players such as
Carlos Delgado, Nick Johnson, and Adrian Beltre are interesting on one-year
deals, if the price is right.
The rotation is suddenly deep enough where Uehara is being considered for a
bullpen role. Matusz and Tillman are the team's aces of the future, with both
getting a look this year. Arrieta isn't far behind. I wouldn't be looking to
spend much on a free agent pitcher this winter.
Certain players could be trade bait if Andy MacPhail doesn't consider them
part of the next good Orioles club. Scott and Guthrie, both under team control
through 2012, jump out as candidates. Guthrie's seen a dip in his strikeout
and groundball rates this season, but he's potentially above-average in the NL
