BLOG: Vladwatch Over!

I had been waiting over 2000 days for this moment.  Vladimir Guerrero is finally a Baltimore Oriole.  That dates back to 2004 when the club first attempted to get Vlad in orange and black.  Yes he's older now and he may not be the player he used to be, but he's still a feared hitter and will fit nicely into the cleanup spot in this lineup.  I'm excited to see how Nick Markakis will do with some protection in the lineup.  Didn't we discuss all of last season how he had none.  Between Vlad, Derek Lee, and Mark Reynolds, he should have some now.  This is the most excited I've been for Orioles baseball since probably the start of the 1998 season and I hope other people are as well.  This season should be fun.
