Before I go on, I thought it would be best to give the Wikipedia™ definition of a hybrid. So here it is:
A hybrid is the combination of two or more different things, aimed at achieving a particular objective or goal.

1B – Kevin Youkilis : Great first half, average second, but great glove work throughout 2007!
2B – Dustin Pedroia : Rookie of the Year, 4th in OBP, 3rd in BA, 2nd in doubles […]
