Don't forget that the O's have even less payroll flexibility than the Braves do. And have just reeled off two winning seasons after over a decade of utter failures. Rome wasn't built in a day -- their starting lineup is extremely solid (and young), and Ubaldo and Yoon (possibly Santana) could really solidify their pitching staff. Bullpens are the easiest component of a MLB team to build, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
