7. Robinson Cano, 2B, Seattle Mariners
I’m not quite sure how this is possible, given Cano’s huge contract and lofty status in the game, but he was kind of under-the-radar this year despite hitting 39 homers, driving in 103 runs, batting nearly .300 and playing Gold-Glove-caliber defense.
He’s a great player and he had a great year. Just not as good as the players above him on this list. He was selected eighth overall.
