Baltimore Orioles: Top 2010 Prospects

First Washington, now Baltimore? The East's Other Stealth Contender

Don't look now, but that Baltimore Orioles team that used to overspend for has-been veterans has buckled down recently, and they've been building something pretty impressive in their back yard. Slowly, steadily and quietly, the Birds have constructed one of the nastiest collections of young arms in baseball. Add in an offense of 20-something stars (Adam Jones, Felix Pie, Nick Markakis, Matt Weiters) and you have the makings of a franchise that could give the AL East titans a run for their money soon. If you don't believe the O's can line up against Boston and New York, have a look at the talent they've assembled, add another couple of years of seasoning, and think again.   

Jake Arrieta is the righthanded half of two smoking hot arms in Baltimore, a team that could see a completely home-grown rotation by 2012.
