G-Coefficient - Third Base

Third base turns out to be the second strongest position on the G-Coefficient, behind outfielders. Several outstanding players are entering their prime years, and there has been an influx of talented hitters on the hot corner over the last couple of seasons. The depth of the position is apparent by the fact that last season's home run champion (Beltre) is forecast to have another great year (38 HR, 110 RBI) but is only rated 10th among third baseman.

Given the talent level at this position, it would seem wise to pay the premium for talent here, and look for salary savings elsewhere, like at second base.
