Rafael Palmeiro. 

Retired 5 years, more than 3 years with the team, not in the team (or real) HoF.

Don't forget about Miguel Tejada, plus he was generous in sharing his Vitamin B12 supply with Raffy and other O's players. 

Both would have made it if not for their "B12" shots. But like I said, I don't want this to devolve into a steroid discussion. I just decided to not include them on my list because of that.

Speaking strictly for myself, Raffy pitching for Viagra offsets any "B12" shots or any other steroids he might have done.

Dude will "cheat" in anything.

Probably gives Viagra and steroids to his rooster and takes them down to the cock fights!

Extra testosterone from steroids might have worked better than the viagra.

Koji almost qualifies, but was with the team for 2.5 years.

I would add Conine, Rodrigo Lopez, Darren O'Day and Miguel Gonzalez

Nevermind on O'Day and Miggy, didn't see the retired for 5 years part.

Bob Nieman. Played LF for 56-59 Orioles. Had a 140 Ops + in his four years. Contended for AL batting championship in 58, but got hurt and missed qualifiying by 30 or so plate appearences. Played his rookie and second year with SLB. Hit homers in first two ML at bats. Didn't count that because it was with Browns in 51. Just a forgotten man but "Pretty Good."

Nieman was actually on the list until he was beaten out by outfielders who just put up much more WAR over their times with the Orioles like Merv Rettenmund who put up 17 WAR as an Orioles compared to the 9.1 Nieman put up. It appears, at least according to Baseball Reference dWAR, Nieman's defense was not good.
