From 2001-2013, the Orioles had arguably one of their best leadoff hitters and second basemen in franchise history in Brian Roberts. Between his two All-Star appearances, three years of 50 doubles, his four years of 30+ steals, five years of 170+ hits, and five years of 3+ WAR, Roberts was always one of the bright spots during a grim period in Orioles history.
Near the end of his career, it seemed to be defined by injuries and misfortune more than his play on the field, which hurt even more considering the turnaround of the franchise starting in 2012.
