Over the last 10 days, the Orioles have acquired three players expected to contribute in 2010: Kevin Millwood, Mike Gonzalez, and Garrett Atkins. Though he turns 35 on Christmas Eve, Millwood had a fine season (13-10, 3.67 E.R.A.) despite pitching half his games at hitter-friendly Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. He wouldn’t be an ace on most clubs, but the O’s need all the help they can get. While it was sad to see the team finally give up on a guy like Chris Ray, making the trade, in my opinion, was a good move because it landed the Birds a much-needed, proven starting pitcher.

Except for some well-published mistakes (Hampton, Pavano, Schmidt, Morris), look at all the guys making a fraction more than Jarrod, like perennial Cy Young candidate Halladay, top-line starter Josh Beckett, or CC Sabathia.
