Denver Sports Omelette: Is Nolan Arenado the best position player in the National League? One publication seems to think so.

Don’t look now, but the Colorado Rockies may just have the best position player in the National League.

At least, that’s if you’re buying what Sports illustrated is selling in its annual ranking of MLB’s top 100 players.

Guided by a “weighted three-year WAR formula,” SI’s group of eight baseball experts set about ranking the game’s best 1-100 for the 2019 season. And if No. 100 is any indication — 19-year-old Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — we should probably take these rankings with a grain of salt.

Call me crazy, but maybe a guy should play a game in the majors before we place him among the game’s best.
