Adam's "thinking about first basemen in history" post and the ensuing discussion caused me to ponder this idea.  To entertain ourselves during the dark winter days of the off-season, would anyone else be interested in a fanpost series on the greatest players of all time at each position?  I know I could compare and discuss Williams, Dimaggio, Hornsby, Foxx, Bench, etc. forever, so if it's something that others would participate in, I would happily be the one to start each post and provide some analysis to kick things off.  I thought maybe leaving each up for a five or so days, depending on the amount of discussion, then moving on to the next position.
