Boiling Down 2011 To 30 Players

You could never actually poke and prod the MLB season enough to come out with only 30 important figures, what with the thousands of games being played and all. But it's often both fun and easy to point at singular individuals when discussing a team's fortunes, and I'm seeking to do that here. These aren't necessarily going to be the best players on each respective team, but for the 2011 season they're likely to be integral to defining what exactly the meaning of the season was for each club. So here they are- one player to define every team's season.
