Brian Burres -- Showed enough last year to be in contention for the fifth starter's spot or a long-relief role.
Dennis Sarfate -- Also acquired in the Tejada deal, the hard-throwing reliever is out of minor league options.
George Sherrill -- Throws strikes and gets people out, making him the best-suited Oriole to close games.
Jamie Walker -- The Orioles have to find ways to ease the burden on the veteran left-hander, who was overused last year.
10 OTHER PLAYERS TO WATCH
Matt Albers, pitcher -- Command issues have hampered the right-hander, who made 18 starts for the Astros last year.
Mike Costanzo, infielder -- Strong-armed third baseman will be given a tryout behind the plate this spring.
Jim Hoey, pitcher -- To this point, the talented reliever hasn't shown enough consistency to secure a spot.
Bob McCrory, pitcher -- Opened a lot of eyes last season and will probably be a factor in the bullpen by season's end.
Scott Moore, infielder -- Showed glimpses last year, but the jury's still out whether he will become an everyday player.
Garrett Olson, pitcher -- Young left-hander looked timid and shaky in seven starts with the Orioles last year.
Hayden Penn, pitcher -- Has gone from prospect to forgotten man; has a lot to prove.
Tike Redman, outfielder -- A nice surprise last year, he might have trouble finding at-bats in a crowded outfield.
Chris Tillman, pitcher -- Some project the right-hander, acquired from Seattle, as a future No. 2 starter.
Matt Wieters, catcher -- First-round pick last year will get a taste, but he will not be rushed to the majors.
