I know what sentence we're discussing. I also know it's rather unnatural. If somebody wants to say Tom is the best player on the team they will usually say exactly that. "Tom is the best player on the team" leaves no doubt about what is meant, and it is the normal way to say it. Since this is an ESL website, I would encourage people to say it that way.
I completely agree with Tarheel. I'm sorry to all the unfortunate learners who found their way into this post. This post is an exercise in pure theory, and should not be used as a model for learning any practical English.
