Aaron Rakers[edit]

With Aaron Rakers on the 60-day disabled list, does he get removed since he will be replaced? OsFan 21:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Roberson[edit]

Why is he not listed?Dshibshm (talk) 20:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You really need to learn how to read the history logs. He was designated for assignment to make room on the roster after the Bedard trade. Do you even see him on the Orioles roster on their webpage? (From MLB.com: Acquired OF Adam Jones, LHP George Sherrill, RHP Chris Tillman, RHP Kam Mickolio and LHP Tony Butler from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for LHP Erik Bedard; Designated OF Chris Roberson for assignment.)

B.J. Surhoff and Rick Dempsey[edit]

I saw them both in uniform at the game today.-DANO- (talk) 00:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Um... every team has former players as guest spring training instructors... what's your point? JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 03:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

not necessarily.-DANO- (talk) 22:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fine... ALMOST all of them... not the point... JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 03:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closer[edit]

On Jim Johnson's page, it lists him as a closer, so he should be there on this roster page.-DANO- (talk) 17:42, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SO THEN UPDATE HIS PAGE! JustSomeRandomGuy32 (talk) 18:14, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pearce-Infielder?[edit]

I know Steve Pearce has been referred to as a first baseman, and is also emergency catcher--- but every non-DH game he's played in 2013 has been in the outfield,. Shouldn't he be moved to that section? Solicitr (talk) 13:20, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template colours[edit]

@Muboshgu, Corkythehornetfan, and Jdavi333: White on orange (the #DF4601 that was most recently used) does not comply with the WCAG 2 AA contrast standards that are part of WP:ACCESS. However, black on orange does. What do you think of using black on orange text for one or both of the headings? —C.Fred (talk) 20:15, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mind either way, as long as all of the Orioles templates are consistent with each other. I've tried to do this in the past but people always get in a knot over it so I just gave up. Jdavi333 (talk) 20:18, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah black on orange is fine with me if it's fine with WP:ACCESS. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:23, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like orange on black is as well, so two options:

Orange text on black background

Black text on orange background

Both one, both the other, or one on top and the other on bottom? —C.Fred (talk) 20:38, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be WCAG 2 AAA too? If not, I'd favor orange font on black. It's a little bit easier to read. ❄ Corkythehornetfan ❄ 20:45, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From MOS:ACCESS: "Ensure the contrast of the text with its background reaches at least WCAG 2.0's AA level, and AAA level when feasible." —C.Fred (talk) 22:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I favor either orange font on black background or white font with orange background. I don't think it's easy to read black font on orange. ❄ Corkythehornetfan ❄ 22:18, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
