The Baltimore Oriole franchise is open for the 1961 season, we are the Post War League, we've been going since '46. We have 12 team this season and hope to expand to 16 next season, this will allow us to have 4 post season teams....
Here is your roster:

This team is clearly a rebuild....with expansion coming you will not be hurt badly by an expansion draft. We are currently at game 135 of the 1960 season, the Orioles are running in the 5th draft position, we do not finalize our draft slots until game 162.
We also draft 4 AAA major leaguers to pad out the roster, all of these players can be kept for future seasons.
