Second baseman Brian Roberts

Getting anything from Roberts would be better than a year ago, when he gave the Orioles next to nothing. I write that with all due respect to Roberts, who was one of baseball's best leadoff hitters before injuries limited him to just 115 total games the past three seasons, including a career-low 17 in 2012. He wasn't healthy long enough to get comfortable last year, but his numbers down in <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="EVSPR000065" title="Spring Training" href="/topic/sports/baseball/spring-training-EVSPR000065.topic">spring training</a> suggest Roberts might be getting his groove back. It would be a huge bonus if the 35-year-old could produce as their everyday second baseman.
