In the last half of the 2000’s Justin Morneau was one of the top offensive First Basemen in baseball.  The Canadian went to four straight All Star Games (2007-2010) and he would belt 20 or more Home Runs for the Minnesota Twins in five consecutive campaigns (2005-09).

While Juan Uribe was never an All Star, it cannot be discounted that he had over 1,500 career Hits and was one Home Run shy of 200, which by all accounts makes a pretty solid career in Professional Baseball.

Let’s forget about his fight with Bryce Harper shall we?

Joe Nathan was one of the more successful closers in the American League throughout the 2000’s a role he embraced after four undistinguished years for the San Francisco Giants.
