Positions of strength: Where MLB teams have shined most for past decade

What’s the best position from a single franchise in major league history? It would be hard to top left field for the Boston Red Sox. It has been manned by three Hall of Famers -- Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice -- for a combined 5,400 games, plus Manny Ramirez for seven more seasons. Between Rice and Ramirez there was Mike Greenwell, a solid player for several years. The position has been in a state of flux of late, but maybe Andrew Benintendi is the next great Red Sox left fielder.

In Part 1 of our position project, we looked at the weakest positions in the majors over the past 10 seasons.
