being in Colorado he doesn't get the pub that other guys do but would you consider him among the top 5 players in baseball? If not where does he rank for you and how much do you think playing at coors park helps him out or is he just that good offensively?

Yes.

In addition to his numbers, his glove is incredible.

He's not close to top 5 for me.

Personally, I do believe he's a top five position player in the league and possibly the best overall 3B in the league.

No. Top 20 player though for sure and you could argue higher. At 3B I have Donaldson and Machado higher than him

Prolly Bryant too if you consider him a 3B

I think this is fair.

Definitely a hard choice between the three of them.

I personally don't think Bryant is on the same level defensively as Arenado, Donaldson or Machado.

It's not like Bryant is bad defensively and I would take his bat over Arenado for sure. Arenado is a great player but he's definitely a different hitter away from Coors

He's been back at 3B since Hardy came back I'm pretty sure

Yeah, he played like 40 or so games at SS. He's the cream of the crop when it comes to defense on the left side of the infield.

Trout Harper Lindor Machado Bryant Correa are the only position players I think I'd for sure take ahead of him in this situation off the top of my head. Gets complicated if you want to factor pitchers in

Seager too

Nah. Top 25 maybe but top 5 is really pushing it.
