Looking back at the 2018 season, the Baltimore Orioles were so incredibly far away from being a successful baseball team. Every player on the roster under-played their projections; the defense was terrible, the bullpen was one of the worst in MLB. There were endless injury issues and nothing went right for the O’s all year.
In terms of value, Manny Machado led the team with 3.8 fWAR; he played just 96 games with the team. Jonathan Villar was second with 1.3, and he was a trade deadline acquisition. Just three pitchers, Mychal Givens, Kevin Gausman, and Alex Cobb.
