Baltimore Orioles OFs Nick Markakis and Nate McLouth are the team's candidates to hit leadoff to begin the season, with 2B Brian Roberts slated to hit ninth in the order. However, manager Buck Showalter said Roberts could easily move up in the order as the season progresses.

Fantasy Tip: Markakis, who was dealing with neck problems in camp, is probably the only one of this trio that deserves consideration in mixed leagues this season.

Baltimore Orioles OF Nick Markakis is likely to be the leadoff hitter this season.

Fantasy Tip: This was expected and doesn't change Markakis' value a whole lot. He has some punch behind him and should be a good source of runs, hit double-digit homers and drive in 60 or so. It would be ideal if Brian Roberts returned to the leadoff spot and pushed Markakis back down in the order to drive in more runs, though.

Markakis is pain-free and has full range of motion in his neck and upper back. He's played in only four spring games.
