No, thanks. His swing is so violent. Amazes me he hits for the average he does.
My guess is because he can wait before pulling the trigger on a pitch just that much longer
Vin Diesel wipes with 40 grit sandpaper.
Brad Wilkerson on Wash.
Scott Podsednik on Chi W. sox- this guy steals more bases than anyone!
I love watchin D Train Pitch.- enough said
For me, my favorites on other teams are only ex-Yankees:
Soriano
El Duque
Andy Pettitte
I like watching Ichiro, not for his hitting but for his outstanding D.
EDIT: I forgot to mention Torii Hunter.

Interesting to see that a bunch of people listed Zito as a favorite. Surprising to me.
SP: Pedro, Hudson, Willis
RP: Francisco Rodriguez
OF: Edmonds, Matsui, Cabrera
IF: Pujols, Rolen
These are players that I like watching, not favorites, as I don't really have any guys who I really ROOT for who aren't Yanks, and I'm ignoring the no former Yankee rule.
It goes without saying that, since most of these guys are good or great players, I enjoy seeing them play and hit against teams OTHER than the Yankees.It goes without saying, so I said it. Go figure.
SP: Santana, Clemens, Prior, Pedro, Wood, and several others.
RP: Lidge, Gagne.
C: Javy Lopez, Piazza.
1B: Pujols, Helton.
2B: Kent, Soriano.
SS: Nomar.
3B: Rolen, Chavez
OF: Manny, Carl Crawford, Torii Hunter, (defensively-the defensive stats might say he's average, but he makes some of the most spectacular defensive plays you'll see.) Jim Edmonds (offensively and defensively), Andruw Jones (mostly defensively), Vlad Guerrero, and a bunch of others.
There are tons of other players who I enjoy watching, but that's a short list. As for other teams that I root for, there are none. I don't root for any team other than the Yankees at any point (unless it would help us in the division race or whatever, so basically I root for us and teams whose wins would benefit us.)

Kevin: New York Squeaks
Favorite Team: Orioles
Starting Pitchers: Pedro (got to sit front row behind home at Oriole Park for a Red Sox game where Pedro was just on...the only time I've ever not really minded losing a game I went to, he pitched so well). Randy Johnson, Dontrelle Willis, Jamie Moyer, Hideo Nomo from the windup.
Relievers: Ummm...Steve Schmoll (Dodgers, U. Maryland grad). I don't really have anyone else for this category, so I'll mention that I love John Smoltz' segments on the Dan Patrick Show, so I guess he's one of my favorites.
Infielders: Ivan Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Craig Biggio
Outfielders: Vladimir Guerrero, Ichiro, Carl Crawford, Johnny Damon, Barry Bonds *hides*
If someone offers you 10,000:1 odds on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I will be a very rich man.
There aren't many. Brad Halsey, El Duque, and Miguel Cairo are the three that come to mind.

adios joe!
Not all that many here. I like Javier Vazquez, Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Albert Pujols. That's about it. I could go on and on about players I don't like though. And I can't believe so many people like Ichiro.
Baseball's not a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that.
I still follow, and miss, Pettite and Ted Lilly. I followed Tino in St. Louis and Tampa, and I followed Wade Boggs after he left the Yankees and went to Tampa.
Favorite team- Redsox
Starter- Clemens, Beckett, Sheets
Reliever- Rivera (not a troll comment about him vs. the sox- he's just a great pitcher)
OF- Torii Hunter, Matsui

My fav is definitely Ichiro; he's amazing to watch in all aspects of the game. His original approach to hitting is intriguing, his speed on the bases make him a constant threat, and that arm... good lord, he can peg a runner at home from deep in the corner without even breaking a sweat. He's unreal.
I also like to watch the fearsome four of the Cardinals bat (Walker, Rolen, Pujols, Edmonds)... that's such a great lineup.
Pitcherwise, I like to watch Zito; that leg kick amuses me, and that curve is nasty (when he can get it going, that is). I also like K-rod, with that violent wind-up and crazy slider... man, the movement on that pitch makes me question my physics
"Every season brings this possibility. Every season features the promise of transcendence." - SJ Gould
I love watching Ichiro bat and play right. Also, I enjoy watching Maddux work over a hitter, reminds me of Catfish.
I also enjoy watching Reyes hot dog plays to turn sure Met wins into defeats; that's nice too.
I heard this today...Did Coltrane actually exist? This is like being blind for 50 years, regaining sight, and then peering directly at the sun.
Favorite Team - New York Yankees
Starters - Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson, Jake Peavy, Tim Stauffer (friend of mine)
Relievers - Jason Isringhausen, Huston Street
Outfielders - Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Edmonds
Infielders - Scott Rolen, Chipper Jones
Favorite team - New York Yankees but I LOVE THE MARINERS TOO (but my FAVORITE team are the Yankees)!!
Starters - Zito, Clemens, F. Garcia, Sele, Pedro Martinez (please don't kill me! I didn't root for him when he was with the Sox!)
Relievers - Can't choose Mo so it's no one.
Outfielders - Cameron, Jeremy Reed, Ichiro
Infielders - Sexson, Boone, Beltre
Coach- Don Zimmer because I met him and rubbed his head!
Oh and I loved Boggs and CONEY! I miss CONEY!!!
