I've been thinking about the good and bad of 2007 Orioles baseball as we move into the second half of the season. Although the team has generally been a disappointment, their have been some specific players that give Orioles fans reason to rejoice.

The good - Bedard, Guthrie, Roberts, Markakis, Walker, Bradford, Burres. But, I'll choose Millar as my favorite first half Oriole.

Also, we've had some players who have let us down more than we would have expected.

The bad - Baez, Cabrera, Patterson, Ray. My special turd player of the first half goes to Jay Gibbons. He's been a disaster. It's a tough decision, because Baez stunk it up, but I didn't expect much from him anyway, so I'm going with Gibbons.
