Orioles Roster of your lifetime

[adidasdoc]

I stole this idea from the Twitter account of OriolesJesus but it really made me think back to some of my favorite players that have worn the orange and black for the past 29 years (25 or so I can actually recall. In your lifetime, post your Roster of your favorite players from each position (I had more pitchers as favorites so it's ok if you have a 4 man bench):

1B- Jeff Conine

2B- Brian Roberts

SS- Cal Ripken Jr

3B- Melvin Mora

LF- BJ Surhoff

CF- Adam Jones

No Bedard?  He'd be my no. 2 starter.

Can I cheat and just go with the '71 O's?

Just realized this is favorite players and not necessarily best roster.

 No worries, I had to really think about him. I liked him but I met Jason Johnson a lot with season tickets and he just snuck by. I agree stats would put Bedard in.

I was just looking at Fangraphs and Sidney Ponson is 3rd in fWAR among all Orioles pitchers in the last 30 years. It's amazing  how bad the pitching has been for the Orioles over the years.

You have a little of Bedard's personality in you.
