Pick one former Oriole at any stage of their career to add to the current team to make us serious WS contenders

[GuidoSarducci]

I think my vote would be Palmer.  Our SP has been pretty good, especially as of late, but I'm not sure any of them would be considered a true "ace" and Palmer would immediately give us that.

Peak Mussina 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Jim Palmer or Mike Mussina, but if it had to be a position player I'll take Frank Robinson or Eddie Murray the middle of the order anchor this team currently lacks.

[Aristotelian]

I'd love to give Mussina '97 a do-over. He had a great regular season and backed it up with a great postseason, giving up 2, 1, 1, and 0 runs in his postseason starts. Can't go wrong with Palmer either but I would go with Mussina. 

I'd also love to have Eddie's bat in this lineup. 

[Can_of_corn]

I wouldn't mind plugging in 408 innings at a 1.61 ERA.  (Joe McGinnity 1904).

 

[SteveA]

Obviously Palmer and Mussina are good choices.

Of course our rotaiton is very righthanded, maybe Dave McNally, or 1979 Mike Flanagan.

Eddie at 1st would be a nice upgrade over Mountcastle.

If anybody says something other than Mussina or Palmer to this question I don't know what they're thinking.

Yea, who would want that Ruth guy?

[foxfield]

Has to be Frazier right?

 

Seriously I’d have to go with Eddie. Everyday player, switch hitter.

Frank Robinson

I'm pretty sure the rest of the league would riot if they let the Orioles have two Adam Fraziers.

[Gurgi]

Eddie Murray would be the opposite of Mountcastle.  His presence in the middle of the order would be a huge boost.  High walks steady power double machine.  

Got to be Murray.  

But Palmer or Mussina would be highly welcome as well.

I don’t know about the league but I am certain the OH would melt. 
 

[Pickles]

Just because of the roster construction, you got to go with a pitcher.

Because of my age, I'd choose peak Mussina.

[Frobby]

Does Palmer get to pitch every fourth day?
