Fans also questioned why certain players had been left off.The decision to place seven-time All-Star Nolan Arenado in the fifth spot was definitely controversial. Arenado is a 10-time Gold Glove Award winner and a six-time Platinum Glove winner. He has led the National League in home runs on three different occasions (2015, 2016, 2018) and the NL in RBIs on two occasions (2015, 2016).Kevin@stlsportsfan7@Tatum47242895 @MLBNetwork @MLBNow What, 9 straight Gold Gloves in NL? and 3rd in MVP voting needs to be #1@Tatum47242895 @MLBNetwork @MLBNow What, 9 straight Gold Gloves in NL? and 3rd in MVP voting needs to be #1Ryan Gilbert@RayRayG91@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Lmao arenado @ 5?74@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Lmao arenado @ 5? https://t.co/ycDQr7Hn7lErik.T@Erik_G_T@MLBNetwork @MLBNow Not sure which is worse, the fact that Arenado isn’t in the top 3, or that Chapman isn’t even here at all.

A random name generator wouldn’t have done much worse here.Last season, Arenado had a .293/.358/.533 slash line and finished third in the NL MVP voting. He recorded 30 homers and 103 RBIs. It's hard to imagine what more he could've done to work his way into the top three places on the list.MLB fans were shocked to see 7x All-Star Nolan Arenado rank number 5 on the listNolan Arenado acknowledges the crowd during his first at-bat against the Colorado Rockies at Coors FieldSome very talented players missed out, causing fans to vent their frustrations online. The Seattle Mariners' Eugenio Suarez had a solid season and helped guide the club to their first playoff appearance since 2001.Without a doubt, the most controversial exclusion from the top 10 has to be the Toronto Blue Jays' Matt Chapman. Fans were surprised the 2019 All-Star and three-time Gold Glover wasn't on the list.Clapz23@Clapz23@MLBNetwork @MLBNow No Chapman116@MLBNetwork @MLBNow No Chapman https://t.co/tXAJfXzrUiMatt Williams@MattWi77iams@MLBNetwork @MLBNow DJ LeMahieu?

He was a key member of the 2021 World Series championship side. Ramirez has recorded an astounding 65 home runs and 129 RBIs over the past two seasons. Machado continues to perform at the highest level year after year and has a handful of awards to his name.It will be interesting to see which of these third basemen leads the list come 2023. With the season around the corner, keep an eye on the stars from this top 10 list.
