Who's the best player at each position?
Who do you guys think are the best players at each position right now in the MLB?
For me it's:
C: Buster Posey
1B: Albert Pujols
2B: Robinson Cano
SS: Troy Tulowitzki
3B: Miguel Cabrera
LF: Ryan Braun
CF: Andrew McCutchen(I pick Trout if he repeats what he did last year)
RF: Giancarlo Stanton
SP(Left): Justin Verlander
SP(Right): Clayton Kershaw
CL: Craig Kimbrel

I completely forgot Price. It's still a toss-up between him and Kershaw for me though.

Three guys have Price as a lefty, two have him as a righty. Weird. I agree with your list, jkiddlridnour, but I'd consider Price and also Jeter at short. If it is best this year, then Tulo, but best active is Jeter.
I collect Dirk Hayhurst.
Thank you jbel4331 for the banner!

Only argument I have with Jeter is his age. He's declining.
