I'm ok with you using the 1890s Orioles squads even though they're not technically the same franchise, but I just want to make sure everyone else is. I know they kinda became the 1901 Orioles (who became the Yankees), but they technically were contracted and by the National League and ceased to exist in 1899. None of the guys you've picked were part of the the reformed American League Orioles a few years later, so I'm alright with it.

Yeah, I had to change the year I used for Berkman because 2008 wasn't available for unknown reasons.

He's there as a 1B.

I think spike is going to get way more into this than he thought he would.

So what is my cutoff for the Orioles, then? 1954?

E.H. Ruddock wrote:So what is my cutoff for the Orioles, then? 1954?

I would think 1901. Different cities and names, but the same franchise, right?

C - Chris Hoiles
1B - Chris Davis
2B - Roberto Alomar
3B - Brooks Robinson
SS - Cal Ripken
OF - Frank Robinson
OF - Brady Anderson
OF - Adam Jones

SP - Jim Palmer

I conformed to your unclear, vague, weak league rules, so calm down

Nothing unclear about them. All players on your team must come from the same franchise.

Ruddo you post your full updated roster again?

Jesus, hold on. Also, is 1901 the same franchise or because they moved it isn't? F*ck it, I'll stick with the 1954 to PRESENT roster.

Here is my updated roster, but my starting lineup is in my earlier post. I don't know how to specify on whatif.
