Last season, I wrote a series of articles breaking down my position-by-position power rankings as the season progressed, and that will again be a staple in 2015.
My preseason rankings came out on March 3, with an updated version published on April 14.
While those two sets of rankings were a reflection of previous performance and used to set a baseline, the following rankings will be based solely on 2015 production.
These rankings take into account a player's all-around offensive abilities, their defensive contributions and what they have meant to the success of their respective teams.
Projected future success is not a factor, so hitters with an excessively high BABIP or pitchers with an alarming FIP aren't docked for their expected regression.
Instead, this is meant to serve as an overview of the top 10 players at each position during the first two months of the year.
Also included at each position is the top rookie performer, something different we're trying this season in an effort to shine more light on who may be the future at each position.
