In order for the Orioles to get better, they can't try and force the issue. That's what they did in 2003, when they signed Tejada, Javy Lopez, and Rafael Palmeiro. That's what they did in 2005 when they traded for Sammy Sosa. That shouldn't be what they try to do this year.
If the Orioles try to rebuild, and do it correctly, they'll likely finish at the bottom of the A.L. East again. Toronto is losing much of their pitching, so they have a chance to jump them if they overachieve, but they'll likely finish with a similar record to 2008.
Ultimately, it's not 2009 that the Orioles fans are hoping for, it's the future beyond that.
