The title of the article says it all, Red Sox Nation. Let's do this. But first, a few quick ground rules:
Some of the players on this list played part of their careers for other teams, but only accomplishments in a Red Sox uniform will be considered.
The era a player played in will be factored in when considering all statistics. Players' numbers will be compared to their contemporaries, not just to players from other eras who played the same position.
Longevity counts, but the biggest factor will be how much a player stood out from the pack during the years they played in Boston.
A player must have played the majority of their career at a position (more games there than anywhere else) to be considered the best player at that position.
This list is meant to depict the best overall player at each position, not to build a functional baseball team. There will be no attempt made to balance power and speed in the lineup, etc.
That should just about cover it. It's time to put together the Boston Red Sox All-Time Team.
