MLB Network has been counting down the Top 10 players at each position in recent weeks.
There have been some rankings that make perfect sense, while others appear to be snubs of some of the best players in the game today.
For example, it makes sense that Jose Altuve would be at the top for second basemen, given his track record of success in both the regular season and postseason.
One questionable ranking might be Nolan Arenado coming in fifth on the third base list.
Tonight, MLB Now will count down the Top 10 shortstops in the game.
Fans have already submitted their votes, and at the top of the fan list is none other than new Philadelphia Phillies star Trea Turner.

Having Turner at the top certainly makes sense.
The 29-year-old is a five-tool player and possesses a unique skillset.
He can hit for power and average, and he also is a plus defender with great range, a great glove, and a solid arm.
His speed is his most impressive attribute.
For his career, the new Phillies shortstop owns a WAR of 29.7, a batting average of .302, 1,033 hits, 230 stolen bases, and an OPS+ of 122.
Turner could very well be the one to come out on top on MLB Now’s rankings, which will be revealed tonight.
The 2019 World Series champion has won a batting title, a Silver Slugger Award, and has been an All-Star twice in his career.
Other shortstops to consider include Carlos Correa, Jeremy Pena, Xander Bogaerts, Francisco Lindor, and Dansby Swanson.
