so whitesox.com is dragging out a top 5 at every position thing and i thought maybe we could see our versions right here and now. i will not go back prior to 1950 (you can draw whatever line you like) as i want to use only players i've seen. for instance .. i know appling was the greatest ss but i never saw him play. i also insisted on at least 3 seasons played, otherwise albert belle would have definitely been in left field. i also didn't include dh. i also included honorable mentions for sp because there are just so many good ones.
my top 5 at every position:
1b:
frank thomas
dick allen
paul konerko
jose abreu
eddie robinson
