Alan Wiggins is not the answer to the Orioles problem at second base.
Here is a prediction--Alan Wiggins will disappear again in about two
months.  Even after seeing Lenn Sakata make two errors in that game against
the Yankees, I believe he should be their starting second baseman.  On an
everyday basis, Sakata could hit about 10 homeruns and bat about .260.
When playing on a regular basis, I believe Sakata is a steady fielder.
