Orioles Sign Brian Roberts to One Year Deal

by Louie Miller @ 8:22 pm. Filed under 2007 Orioles

The Orioles avoided arbitration with second baseman Brian Roberts when they locked him up to a one year, $4.2 million deal today. Robert had a monster year in 2005 but an elbow injury slowed him down a bit. Regardless, Roberts is one of the best second basemen in baseball so $4.2 million isn’t all that bad.

PECOTA doesn’t project Brian Roberts very well. The weighted mean average they have is .264/.337/.392 but they have a projected 56% collapse rate. I think he’ll be on the north end of .275, but time will tell.
