mccutheon is not only just an all around incredible player but he signed a VERY friendly deal and actually WANTS to be here. alvarez is one of the best young power guys in the game and will probably move to 1B at some point. marte is going to be amazing and they have one of the best prospects in baseball int he minors waiting to come up and play RF next year. pirates got a few big time arms in the minors too. its just fun to see, i went to a tuesday game a few weeks ago when cole was pitching and half the stadium didnt get in until the 2nd inning cause the lines were so damn long.


my stepdad is a big orioles fan and ive went to many games at camden yards (beautiful btw) and watched a ton of tv games so i root for them to do well in the AL
