C: Buster Posey (2012)
1B: Paul Goldschmidt (2015)
2B: Jose Altuve (2017)
SS: Francisco Lindor
3B: Miguel Cabrera (2013)

DH: J.D. Martinez (2018)

SP: Jacob deGrom (2018)
RP: Wade Davis (2014)
CL: Blake Trienen (2018)

1B, SP and SS were probably the toughest to choose from. I tried not to have one player appear at more positions. Otherwise, I would have went with 2010 Miggy at 1B.

I forgot about the 2015 Harper season. Could swap him with Mookie on my list. I tried to have players that played the majority of their games at their positions (Harper didn't play LF in 2015). But if we're ignoring innings at positions, then it's hard to argue with that outfield.

I don't think Diaz is a homerish pick. He had an outstanding year, especially when you look at his peripherals. His season was one of the first that came to mind when I did mine.
