In November of 2011, the SPN complied the All Decade All Star Team for the first ten seasons of the leagues existence. Those players are forever immortalized on the home page of the SPN Blog. Now, in Season 26, its time for the All Decade All Star Team, Decade II. This time, rather than simply doing the selections myself, I'll be soliciting votes from the league. Each position will have a few nominees and some relevant stats/info. Keep in mind, when voting, only take into account that player's performance in Seasons 11-20, not their entire career.
Ask yourself, 'Who was the best player at this position during Seasons 11-20?' Please TC me your vote for a 1st place and a 2nd place at each position. The 'Infield' ballot will be open for this week. In two weeks, I'll be posting the 'Outfield/Catcher' ballot; followed by the 'Pitchers.'
Here are the nominees with their stats and achievements from Seasons 11 thru 20...
