He's played 472 innings at third and 363 in the OF this year. Fangraphs has him listed at 3B/OF.
 
Let's just keep him at his original position, unless anyone isn't good with that

Josh Donaldson, don't consider it to be particularly close either.

How does Bryant have a vote for #1?  He's at best behind Nolan, Josh, and Manny.  At best.

To me, Donaldson is # 1, and then there can be a good argument for Machado/Bryant behind him. 
 
Bryant has been playing OF for the Cubs this season, but that is mainly because the Cubs OF has been decimated by injuries. It is also because Joe Madden is a douche and cant keep the same line-up 2 days in a row. If you can play multiple positions under Maddon, you will, even if you suck at them. 
 
I've attached the Fangraphs stat page for 3B this season with the top 10. It is sorted by WAR, and I think some of you will be surprised when you see who is in the top 5....

Looks like Donaldson takes this. I'm leaving these open for 24 hours max now.
