Come on, you knew I was gonna ask about Vlad right away, didn't you?
Vladimir Guerrero comes to the Orioles with fifteen years of major league experience and a Hall of Fame resumé. After a disappointing 2009 with the Los Angeles Angels, Guerrero signed a one-year contract with the Texas Rangers and bounced back relatively well, although he proved that he is exclusively a designated hitter from now on.
