It wasn't much fun to be an Orioles fan in 2011. Though it was the first full season with Buck Showalter at the helm, the team was still plagued by some of then-GM Andy MacPhail's worst ideas, which included things like, "Vladimir Guerrero and Derrek Lee are middle-of-the-order bats worth paying over $7 million each" and "Zach Britton and Brian Matusz are capable of being MLB starting pitchers."
When that year's draft rolled around starting on June 6, the Orioles had a 26-31 record and were in last place in the division, seven games behind the leading Yankees.
