The only team essentially eliminated as of today is the Baltimore Orioles.
I've got MLB At Bat (radio broadcasts) this year for the first time, and I've listened to a lot of Orioles games.
I know you know this already, but this team is not nearly as bad as their record would reflect. (or at the very least they show a lot of hope for the future IMO).
Wieters is having a very good year. Wigginton has caught fire lately. Makarkis is pretty much out of his beginning-of-the-year slump. Jones is going to get out of his slump. I like what I saw (heard) from Hughes over the weekend.
And, on the mound, solid performances from Millwood and Guthrie. Lots of promise from Matusz and dare I say, Hernandez.
I'm new to following the team, but it seems their biggest weakness is bullpen. Do they have anything coming up in the minors?

Injuries have been killer as well - losing Pie and Roberts has been huge. Jones and Markakis also picked a bad time to slump.
But yeah, all in all, I'm happy with where the organization is. They still need to address the corners and wait on the pitching, but the pieces are there for the next good Orioles team. and I really want them to flip Scott for something useful.
