With 56 doubles Roberts became just the fourth player in history to have three seasons with 50 or more doubles joining Tris Speaker (5 years), Stan Musial (3) and Paul “Big Poison” Waner (3).Cy Young: Brad Bergesen – 7-5, 3.43 – The Orioles turned in another gruesome pitching season. Bergesen is a control pitcher who did a good job keeping the ball in the ballpark. His ERA+ was an impressive 135 before his season ended due to a leg injury.Baseball America Pre-season #1 Prospect Status – Matt Wieters – C – There was absolutely no way Wieters was going to live up to the outrageous projections laid out for him.

Who is the Orioles' best current defensive outfielder?

Adam Jones is now the 13th Oriole to receive an American League Gold Glove and the first since some pitcher named Mike in 1999.
