They look like they can score a lot of runs. Baseball isn't like other sports though. You can't just use your offense to control the clock. Sooner or later you have to get 27 outs. Can the O's do that? I'm seeing a lot of 8-6 games. Half of those pitchers are coming off injury, nursing minor injuries, or stunk it up in spring training or in 2010. Yikes.

Here is the lineup for the last spring training game which is presumably the everyday lineup.

Brian Roberts 2B

Nick Markakis RF

Derrek Lee 1B

Vlad Guerrero DH

Luke Scott LF

Adam Jones CF

Mark Reynolds 3B

Matt Wieters C

J.J. Hardy SS

There is a lot of potential there. But Buck Showalter had better have his magic wand warmed up and ready to go for the pitchers.
