Any information on Baltimores starting rotation? I'm trying to pick up a SP and Benson, Chen, Bedard, Lopez are all available... Cabrera was the only one drafted... On Yahoo! Benson is top on the depth chart. I need to know which one will be starting opening day so I can pick him up... Anyone know?

Bedard would be the only one I would pick up for a permanent roster spot, the others are only spot starters and even then I only see Erik as a 5th starter.
Having said that, like Cabrera, Bedard does have decent upside unlike the other 3.

I am a huge Orioles fan, but I'll be the one to caution you about expecting too much.
Bedard is a 27 year old injury-prone pitcher who's track record shjows him to be just a hair above average. He's NEVER, in any major or minor league season, been able to stay healthy enough to pitch more than 150 IP. He strikes out a lot of guys, but gives up lots of walks. He's got an upside, but it's not a huge one.
