Who do you guys got? For one, I think Adam Eaton is quietly one of the best players in baseball. His defense was bad last year in center field, but ever since switching to right field this season, he's been great defensively with a 43.3 UZR/150 in the outfield this year. Here are the top WAR's from position players over the last calendar year.

1. Mike Trout, 9.5
2. Bryce Harper, 8.5
3. Josh Donaldson, 8.2
4. Manny Machado, 8.1
5. Yoenis Cespedes, 7.1
6. Kris Bryant, 6.7
7. Chris Davis, 6.4
8. Adam Eaton, 6.3
9. Paul Goldschmidt, 6.2
10. Joey Votto, 6.2

That's right, Eaton is ahead of Goldschmidt and Votto, and right behind Chris Davis and Kris Bryant. I don't consider Eaton a top 10 player in baseball, but he I think he is primed for a breakout year this year. He's already at a 2.4 WAR in 177 PA, and his BABIP is actually below his career mark. He's also one of only 12 players in baseball this year with qualified PA with more walks than strikeouts. So who you guys got?
