Floyd Rayford

For one season - 1985 - chunky Floyd Rayford was a valuable slugger for the Orioles, popping 18 homers in part-time duty. Originally coming up with Baltimore, Rayford was traded to the Cardinals in 1983, thus missing out on the Orioles world championship season. But he came back for four more seasons with the club, serving as a pinch-hitter and utility third baseman.
