It’s interesting that Taylor was elected to be part of the second base group. While that is where someone might list his primary position; Taylor spent more time in 2018 in the outfield and at shortstop in relief of Corey Seager.

Of course, Turner is less of a surprise. What a nice boasting card to finish ahead of Nolan Arenado – one of the most elite third baseman in the game.

Where would you rank Turner and Taylor within their position group? Let us know in the comments!
