I'm from Maryland but I'm far from an Orioles fan. I'll make my argument and hopefully it's good enough.
If I remember correctly, neither Schilling nor Johnson were long term solutions. Yes they won a series but the team hasn't done much since. Great for a year...not for "building" a team for the long haul.
I'm not eliminated todays game, just almost impossible to compare eras because of issues like this. I would have like to seen Bonds hug that corner with no protection in an era where throwing at someone was acceptable.
I'll usually take the side of the older players, just my opinion.
Cardinals a few years ago..used the meat of that lineup and defense to win..rotation was average at best.

2 Oscar "Robinson"...seriously. I'm not even a big NBA fan and I wouldn't do that.
Can't put him as a lottery selection when DJ admits he won't be a star. Maybe I'm wrong, isn't that what is expected of lottery picks?

Undecided as of now
Leaning left. Though it's tough to make comparisons between position players and pitchers.
