Pitchers
Mike Belfiore Downnew_medium First batter faced: David Oritz. Result: homer. Ouch.
Zach Britton Upnew_medium Five hits is quite a few for just 3.2 innings of relief, but at least it was scoreless.
Wei-Yin Chen http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png A couple of so-so starts has his final line almost identical to last season's.
Scott Feldman Downnew_medium Got absolutely smoked in his final start of 2013. Way to finish the year.
Kevin Gausman Downnew_medium Nothing much to see here.
Miguel Gonzalez Upnew_medium Finished the year with one of his best starts on the year.
Jason Hammel http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Probably tossed his final pitches as an Oriole.
Tommy Hunter Downnew_medium All of those innings probably caught up to him.
Jim Johnson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Ended the year on 7 consecutive saves. The O's will reportedly tender him a contract this off-season.
Steve Johnson Downnew_medium Didn't allow a hit, but gave up 2 earned runs anyway.
Brian Matusz Downnew_medium Hardly got anyone out this week.
T.J. McFarland http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Nothing to see here, either.
Bud Norris Downnew_medium Here's another acquisition that never made much sense.
Darren O'Day http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Saw just a handful of batters this week.
Troy Patton http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png See above.
Francisco Rodriguez Downnew_medium Tagged for an ER and a loss.
Josh Stinson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Allowed two runs (1 earned) in 3.2 innings, but I can't seem to give him a down arrow since he's been surprisingly good in relief.
Chris Tillman Downnew_medium The staff ace finished out the season on a rough note: 5 IP, 8H, 5R (4 earned).
Catchers
Steve Clevenger http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Hit safely in all four games he played for Baltimore
Chris Snyder http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 0-1
Matt Wieters Upnew_medium With the O's out of the playoff picture, Wieters got some rest and ended up hitting pretty well.
Infielders
Alexi Casilla http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png Missed the week with a concussion
Chris Davis http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png On his way toward finishing the season on a positive note before injuring his wrist.
Ryan Flaherty Upnew_medium Pressed into service at 3B after the Machado injury and actually fared pretty well (5-17, 2 HR)
J.J. Hardy Upnew_medium Nine hits, although just one for extra bases.
Dan Johnson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 0-4
Manny Machado http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png All things considered, that could have been a LOT worse.
Brian Roberts Upnew_medium .333 with 3 homers. Does he get re-signed for next season?
Jonathan Schoop Upnew_medium Solid first week included the longest homer by an Oriole not named Chris Davis....in just his second at-bat.
Danny Valencia Upnew_medium 5-15, although just one extra base hit.
Outfielders
Chris Dickerson http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png DNP
Adam Jones Downnew_medium He did have a homer, but finished the year rather cool.
Nick Markakis Upnew_medium Actually managed to get his BA up over .270 for the year.
Nate McLouth Downnew_medium Four hits all went for extra bases, but he was mostly unproductive.
Michael Morse Downnew_medium Snooze. Why did the O's trade for this guy again?
Steve Pearce Upnew_medium Trying to prove he's worth a roster spot next season.
Jason Pridie Downnew_medium Pretty ugly at the plate and in the field.
Henry Urrutia http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/217757/dash.png 1-4
