Every year MLB Network conducts a fun exercise of compiling lists of the top ten players at each position in Major League Baseball. Per MLB.com the list is compiled based on “rankings based on player performance over the last two seasons, a number of offensive and defensive metrics, both advanced data and traditional numbers and analysis by the MLB Network research team”. So far the Cardinals have five players to make the list, though we are still waiting on third baseman and relief pitchers to be announced.
Paul DeJong cracks the list for shortstops for the first time, coming in at number ten.
