25-man roster set

Eric DuBose and Ramon Nivar were optioned to the Lynx, and Jay Witasick and Enrique Wilson (former Yankee scum bites the dust!) were reassigned to minor league camp.

With those moves, the 25-man roster is in place. Here are the 2005 Baltimore Orioles for Opening Day (not counting guys on the DL - Grimsley, Ainsworth, etc.):
