While this may not be a post of great analysis or intricate stats (and hey, we can't use UZR anymore anyway since claiming Manny and shifting Thome to center), I think it'd still be fun to see who your overall favorite players in the game are. You can list as many as you want, including any from our beloved Twins of course, and explain why.

I'm just going to list mine, because I'm somewhat sedate right now after a steak dinner, raspberries, and the bliss of watching Nelson Cruz singlehandedly whack the Yankees.

Joe Mauer

Justin Morneau

Jim Thome

Chase Utley

Ryan Howard

Torii Hunter

Cliff Lee

Ichiro Suzuki

Paul Konerko (most underrated player of the decade in my opinion)

Andre Ethier

Zack Greinke

Evan Longoria

I'll remember more later.
