    Favorite players not on your favorite team

    Who are your favorite Starters?
    Who are your favorite Relievers?
    Favorite Outfielders?
    Favorite Infielders?
    Others?
    And you can't list players on your favorite team! (And try to ignore former players of the team)

    I'll start:
    Favorite team - BoSox
    Starters - Barry Zito, Dontrelle, Johan
    Relievers - Billy Wagner, Octavio Dotel (as of last week)
    Outfielders - Vlad Guerrero, Ichiro
    Infielders - Pujols, Chavez, Rolen

    I root for 25 players and 25 players only, with only one exception, when Tino was a Cardinal and Devil Ray. Besides that, if your cap isnt navy blue with the white interlocking NY, then ................ you.

    Uhhh ok...
    Some of us are fans of baseball as a whole as opposed to a single team with whom we have an emotional attachment with.
    Yes I love my Sox, but I still enjoy watching other players. This game would be pretty boring with 25 players in the league.

    You didn't ask who I like to watch, you asked who my favorite players not on the Yankees are. I answered the question.

    Yankee fan, first and foremost. But other than them:

    SP: Chan Ho Park --> I'm Korean, and he's our best right now, sadly (he also may be the richest non-political Korean on Earth, big ups for that)
    RP: Gagne --> only because of the pinky changeup, it's hilarious
    OF: Ichiro --> I'm just dumbfounded by him
    IF: Furcal --> I just like watching him throw to first

    Well he's sorry you feel that way.
    He might have been trying to spark some positive conversation.
    He might want to get this thread back on topic.

    Oh man, that's one of the best sites in baseball. I love watching players with awesome arms since that was the worst part of my game when I played.

    When he played, Cal Ripken Jr.

    Now, someone not on the Yankees? I like Pujols a lot, he's a real class act.

    EDIT: Oh and Nick Johnson. I liked him as a Yankee, and I like him on no-threat Washington now.

    Favorite team - The New York Yankees
    Starters - Orlando Hernandez, John Smoltz, Pedro Martinez
    Relievers - Brad Lidge
    Outfielders - Ichiro Sizuki, Manny Ramirez (I really do love watching him both hit and play LF),
    Infielders - Mark Loretta, Jack Wilson (for his defense), Frank Thomas (when he connects it's bye bye), Mike Piazza (his swing is so efficient and his body stays so quiet).

    I should add that when I said favorite team, I meant my actual favorite is the Orioles. My favorite non-oriole teams are the Phillies and the Twins.

    My sentiments exactly. Although I kind of root for the Nationals in the NL, but there again I'm rooting for the team as opposed to any individual player.

    Re: Favorite players not on your favorite team

    I'd also like to add everyone on my fantasy baseball teams to my list of favorite players.

    I run into a little trouble when my players in fantasy baseball play the Yanks.. this was esp troubling early in the season when the O's absolutely tore through the Yanks, with Tejada and Roberts leading the way. Tejada and Roberts are on just about every one of my fantasy teams... as much as I didn't want the Yankees to get spanked, i was definetly happy that if they HAD to get whooped, then my guys would be doing the damage.

    btw, these are all pay leagues where the payout ranges from 100 dollars to 800 dollars(which I won last year =))

    Andy Pettitte more then anyone else. In fact, I've considered getting a Houston jersey with his number.

    I used to be a big A-rod fan, but that don't count anymore.

    Most of the guys I really root for now are the stars on my fantasy teams. This year though, they can all
