A one-time top prospect in the Seattle Mariners system, the trade that sent Tillman to Baltimore helped rebuild the Orioles into the contender they are today. In flipping Canadian hurler Erik Bedard to the Pacific Northwest, the O’s landed not only Tillman, but outfielder Adam Jones, as well, way back in February of 2008.
