24-year old righty swinging Adam Jones was having an outstanding season before it ended due to injury. Jones played in 119 games for the Orioles last season and he was 131 of 473 (.277 avg, .792 OPS) with 83 runs scored, 19 homers, 70 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. The sky is the limit for Jones as a hitter as he could have a monster year for the Orioles in 2010 if he can stay healthy. Jones made 5 errors in 118 games in CF last season while showing outstanding range. Jones also had 9 assists out of CF which shows that he has a howitzer attached to his right shoulder. If Jones cuts down on the errors he will be a Gold Glove candidate soon.

25-year old lefty swinging Felix Pie is the top backup in CF for the Orioles. Pie played in 101 games for the Orioles last season and he was 67 of 252 (.266 avg, .763 OPS) with 38 runs scored, 9 homers and 29 RBIs. Pie only made 1 error in 42 games in CF last season while showing outstanding range. He had 2 assists out of CF last season showing off a good throwing arm. Pie was once a top prospect and he started to show why last season for the Orioles and they hope he keeps up the good work in 2010 and beyond.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE CF IN 2010: B+
