Unfortunately for us, most accomplished players who have some options on where to go, tend to choose, um, more... accomplished teams. Teams that have a shot at winning. I hope we are able to find someone like though, because my rose colored glasses and I really feel like the O's aren't too far away from contending, and a good veteran pitcher might be the key.
