2010 Orioles Autograph Project

Okay, so this year I have decided to work on an autograph project. But, this one is not for a specific card set. Instead, I have decided to try to obtain at least one (1) autograph of every player and coach that wears the Orange and Black at any point during the 2010 season. There are some exceptions:
1. Minor League players do not count unless they play on the Big League team this season.
2. All coaches and bullpen catchers count, however bat boys (they wear uniforms) do not count.
3. Team announcers, Front Office guys, Mascots, and other Orioles personnel do not count. (Though I will include the announcers, mascot and FO guys I have and want, but they will not count towards the total)
4. It can be on any item, though i am trying to get everyone on a card.
I'm pretty far along already and it is early yet, but new players will come up all year, so I won't be finished until the season is entirely over.
