2006 In Review: First Base

Kevin Millar

.272/.374/.437, 26 doubles, 15 homeruns, 64 RBIs, 1 stolen base

Grade: C

2007 Outlook: For a first baseman, his numbers weren’t very good. But he was second on the team in on-base percentage to Miguel Tejada and provided some occasional pop. I could see Millar returning to the Orioles next year, hopefully in a reserve/platoon role, not as a full-time starter. He has what the Orioles need most, players that can get on base at a high level. He would be a cheap option.

Jeff Conine

.265/.325/.401, 20 doubles, 3 triples, 9 homeruns, 49 RBIs, 3 stolen bases

Grade: C-

2007 outlook: Conine will play 2007 with the Philadelphia Phillies after the Orioles traded him to them in August. He played in 114 games with the O’s before being traded. He was hot and cold throughout the year. Starting off very slowly before getting hot during the summer. He would have been a better option if he was coming off the bench more, instead of being the everyday left fielder.
