Will Leo Mazzone help the Orioles overtake the Yankees and Red Sox as well as keep the Blue Jays under them in the AL EAST?

One of the most consistently over-rated coaches in the history of MLB.
He won't do much at Baltimore...doesn't have the talent on the staff.

The success of the 1991-2005 Braves is hard to argue with, but it was Smoltz, Glavine, Maddux and the additions and subtractions along the way that were just that good.
At a close look the Orioles should not bank on Mazzone duplicating what those Atlanta teams accomplished unless they are willing to spend spend spend spend and spend some more.

One can only hope and pray he does....
Maybe he wont turn them around in one year but give him a few years for his philosophy to settle in and you might be suprised. Leo has a knack for teaching guys with talent how to pitch. If you are pitching in the big leagues you have talent....don't be fooled by people who say they don't have the talent....come on... these guys are big leagers, they just need someone with winning experience that they believe knows what they are talking about. Leo will make power pitchers outta power pitchers and nibblers outta nibblers...thats his style. In a few years im gonna come back and say ....I TOLD YOU SO>....lol
