These are my picks for the best Giant player at each position during the 2000s. If a player's career straddles the 90s and 2000s, he will only be judged by his performance during the 2000s. Any stats or honors listed are those accumulated during the 2000s. Feel free to debate my picks or list your own. This is just a lockout boredom post.
