Greatest Baltimore Oriole players in the last 50 years

 Today, I will continue my list for the greatest players at each position for every team in the last 50 years for each team. Today’s team is the Baltimore Orioles. The criteria are as follows:
- player must have played a full 5 years for team.
-Include players active since 1970 (meaning no player whose career ended prior to the 1970 season will be considered, and players who overlap will be considered only for their time from 1970 on).
-1 player will be selected for each position, 1 right handed starting pitcher, 1 left handed starting pitcher, and 1 relief pitcher. I will include a DH for both leagues (considering interleague play now).
 Below is my list of greatest players by position for the Baltimore Orioles in the last 50 Years.
First Base- Rafael Palmero. Steroids or not, he has to make the list. Palmero had over 100 RBI for 9 straight seasons with Baltimore.
Second Base- Bobby Grich. Note Roberto Alomar only played 3 years with Baltimore, so he doesn’t meet the criteria. Grich was a terrific all around second basemen who gets overlooked. Could be considered a borderline hall of famer.  Honorable mention to Brian Roberts, who was a great spark plug for the Orioles in the early 2000s.
Shortstop- Cal Ripken. One of the greatest shortstops of all time.  Rookie of the Year. 2 time MVP, 2-time gold glove winner, and the all-time record for consecutive games played. Honorable Mention to Manny Machado.
Third Base- Brooks Robinson.  One of the greatest third basemen in MLB History.  He was later in his career in the 70s, but, still played a gold glove third base, and still played every day.  Honorable mention to Melvin Mora.
Left Field- BJ Surhoff. Although he played many different position, Surhoff was the primary leftfielder for the Os during the mid-1990s. He played 162 games 2 straight season. Surhoff was durable, and dependable. Honorable mention to the combo of John Lowenstein/Gary Roenicke, who were a great platoon for the Os in the late 70s early 80s.
Centerfield- Paul Blair. A 7-time gold glove winner was a leader on the early 70s Os teams.  Honorable mention to Adam Jones, another terrific fielder who won 4 gold gloves and was one of the best Oriole players in the 2000s.
Right Field- Ken Singleton- A Great Oriole who finished in the top 10 MVP honors 3 times (including 2^nd and 3^rd).  Honorable mention to Brady Anderson.
Designated Hitter- Eddie Murray. A very consistent player, Murray had over 90 RBI for 8 out of 12 seasons with Baltimore. He won rookie of the year, and was a 7 time All Star.
Catcher- Rick Dempsey.  Although he never put up great stats, Dempsey was a tough catcher who was definitely a vital member of the Os of the late 70s and early 80s. He was the World Series MVP in the 83 series.
Right Handed starting pitcher- Jim Palmer. Pitching was always the Orioles strength. Many good options here, but, Palmer is one of the greatest pitchers of all time. He won over 20 games (8) times! Appeared in 6 World Series, winning 2. Honorable mention to Mike Mussina, another Hall of Famer who won over 15 games 11 times.
Left Handed starting pitcher- Dave McNally. He won over 20 games 4 times for the Os. Honorable mention to Mike Cuellar, who won 20 (3) times with the Os.
Relief pitcher- Gregg Olson. He was by far the greatest relief pitcher in Orioles history.

Next team up will be the Boston Red Sox
