All Decade Teams

[rsox]

Seeing as how some teams are starting to release their all decade teams for 2000-09 i thought we could pick our own all decade teams. I believe a requirement is that a player should have played at least a couple of seasons in the decade for a team to qualify

My Red Sox all decade team:
C Jason Varitek: 131 HR's, 596 RBI's, caught 4 No-Hitters
1B Kevin Youkilis: 93 HR's, 408 RBI's.
2B Dustin Pedroia: 42 HR's, 212 RBI's, 2007 AL ROY, 2008 AL MVP.
SS Nomar Garciaparra: 82 HR's, 350 RBI's.
3B Bill Mueller: 41 HR's, 204 RBI's, 2003 AL batting title winner.
OF Manny Ramirez: 274 HR's, 868 RBI's, 2004 WS MVP.
OF Johnny Damon: 56 HR's, 299 RBI's, 98 SB's.
OF Jacoby Ellsbury: 20 HR's, 125 RBI's, 129 SB's , first Red Sox player to lead league in steals in consecutive seasons
DH David Ortiz: 259 HR's, 830 RBI's

SP Pedro Martinez: 75-26, 2000 AL Cy Young award winner
SP Curt Schilling: 53-29, who can forget the bloody sock
SP Tim Wakefield: (as a starter) 102-86
SP Josh Beckett: 65-34, 2007 ALCS MVP
SP Jon Lester: 42-16, beat cancer and threw a No-Hitter

CP Jonathan Paplebon: 151 Saves, 1.84 ERA.

Who are yours?

Re: All Decade Teams

This is tough. The Rays basically had zero starting pitching besides Kazmir until 2-3 years ago. You can also arguably put in Zobrist and Bartlett in there over Cantu and Lugo too, but I didn't want to post the exact current roster!

C- Toby Hall
1B- Carlos Pena
2B- Jorge Cantu
3B- Evan Longoria
SS- Julio Lugo
LF- Carl Crawford
CF- B.J. Upton
RF- Aubrey Huff
DH- Fred McGriff

SP- Scott Kazmir
SP- James Shields
SP- Matt Garza
SP- Jeff Niemann
SP- David Price

CL- Danys Baez
