I wish Mr. Weiters the very best. He apparently has all of the skills need to succeed. The real question has to do with who will Mr. Weiters learn from? The Orioles do not have a leader on this team. They have two players that will consistently hit around 300. With the club's history, the Orioles will put on a good show up to July 1st and then begin to take a nose dive. From July 1st on, all you will hear from the overpaid play by play announcers is how good is Mr. Weiters.
