That's a huge jump for Sano. Indians fans are doing their part, as they've got a player in the top 5 at every position, so hopefully Sano can hold off Jose Ramirez.

He's the only player in the league who's numbers are THAT much better than anyone else's at his position. I think that will stand out even to casual voters.

This was my thought as well. Machado has some name recognition. Donaldson was on the DL so he could come on strong in the weeks ahead.

It's also helpful that there are no third basemen in major markets (New York, Boston, Chicago, LA) doing well.

At this point, I Don't Know is on third.
