National League:
Catcher:
1. Brian McCann Atlanta Braves: fWAR: 2.8. .305/.380/.523/.386.
2. Ramon Hernandez Cincinnati Reds: fWAR: 1.4. .308/.371/.503/.374.
3. Chris Iannetta Colorado Rockies: fWAR: 2.1. .229/.389/.447/.369.
Notes: This is with my new method of giving points based on places in WAR and the quadruple slash. McCann placed first as he placed either first or second in every category I weighed.
First Base:
1. Prince Fielder Milwaukee Brewers: fWAR: 3.7. .306/.426/.608/.439.
2. Joey Votto Cincinnati Reds: fWAR: 3.2. .318/.440/.489/.406.
3. Todd Helton Colorado Rockies: fWAR: 2.2. .310/.387/.500/.382.
Notes: Fielder ranks first in Slg%, wOBA, and WAR. He ranks second in OBP and 4th place in batting average.
Second Base:
1. Rickie Weeks Milwaukee Brewers: fWAR: 3.3. .287/.356/.498/.375.
2. Chase Utley Philadelphia Phillies: fWAR: 1.4. .277/.383/.455/.374.
3. Danny Espinosa Washington Nationals: fWAR: 2.8. .242/.321/.464/.348.
Notes: Weeks ranked 1st in WAR, Slg%, and wOBA just like his teammate Fielder. He ranked 3rd in OBP. He's a worthy all-star.
Third Base:
1. Chase Headley San Diego Padres: fWAR: 2.0. .295/.389/.402/.357.
2. Ryan Roberts Arizona Diamondbacks: fWAR: 2.1. .258/.345/.458/.354.
3. Ty Wigginton Colorado Rockies: fWAR: 1.0. .266/.322/.489/.358.
Notes: Headley is behind by 0.1 WAR but tops him in Average, OBP, and wOBA. So I think he is the worthy choice at 3B this year.
Shortstop:
1. Jose Reyes New York Mets: fWAR: 4.3. .338/.382/.511/.395.
2. Starlin Castro Chicago Cubs: fWAR: 1.9. .322/.352/.443/.357.
3. Troy Tulowitzki Colorado Rockies: fWAR: 3.0. .274/.338/.488/.357.
Notes: Reyes got a perfect score. He is the best shortstop in every stat that I look at.
Left Field:
1. Matt Holliday St. Louis Cardinals: fWAR: 3.0. .339/.443/.559/.433.
2. Ryan Braun Milwaukee Brewers: fWAR: 3.4. .309/.395/.550/.417.
3. Allen Craig St. Louis Cardinals: fWAR: 1.5. .336/.405/.523/.415.
Notes: I thought Braun would score higher but Holliday ranks a bit higher.
Center Field:
1. Matt Kemp Los Angeles Dodgers: fWAR: 4.2. .328/.420/.620/.452.
2. Andrew McCutchen Pittsburgh Pirates: fWAR: 4.0. .289/.393/.474/.388.
3. Nyjer Morgan Milwaukee Brewers: fWAR: 1.5. .336/.365/.514/.379.
Notes: Kemp and McCutchen are both worthy all-stars but Kemp gets the starting nod.
Right Field:
1. Lance Berkman St. Louis Cardinals: fWAR: 2.7. .309/.417/.605/.427.
2. Justin Upton Arizona Diamondbacks: fWAR: 3.3. .301/.382/.521/.397.
3. Seth Smith Colorado Rockies: fWAR: 2.3. .315/.368/.554/.397.
Notes: Technically Allen Craig is 2nd but he doesn't qualify since he ranked in the top 3 in the left field category.
