MLB - Favorite Players from Each Team
 

<font color=goldenrod>Stole this idea from the NHL Favorite Players thread. If you're like me you probably don't have 100% definite favorite players for most teams (especially ones you don't follow as much)...so feel free to list up to 3 guys per team if you want. Use whatever criteria you want.

Also, no copping out and leaving teams blank. :mad: Even your most hated rivals probably have at least one somewhat likable player on the roster.

FakeRazor is a big fan of former Boston Pilgrims pitcher Nick Altrock.

This is the truth

If I were to pick a Red Sock I would pick former New York Yankee Mike Lowell.

Jon Lester is pretty rock n' roll too
