This past Monday I looked over some players who may be in store for a disappointing season. Today, I will be projecting a leader at every position. Position eligibility makes this a little tricky, but I will base the leaders off positions qualified going into the season. For example, Miguel Cabrera only qualifies at Third Base right now. So, to kick this off, let's take a look at the catcher leader for 2014.

Catcher: Carlos Santana, Cleveland Indians

Carlos Santana, coming off a 2013 campaign in which he played in 154 games, had his best year since reaching the bigs in 2010.

A year in which Santana hit a career high .268 and reached base at a career his .377, Santana finished first in eDraft's rankings at the catching position.

This year, Santana has lobbied to make a transition to third base, in a way to keep him in the line-up on an every day basis, similar to last year.

Cleveland's lineup is the same as last year, and Santana bats in the heart of the order. Despite studs like Buster Posey and Joe Mauer in his way, expect Santana to build off last year, into an even better 2014.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .275 AVG, 85 Runs, 25 HR's, 100 RBI, 5 SB

First Base: Freddie Freeman, Atlanta Braves

Freeman had a career year of his own in 2013. In 147 games, Freeman set a career high in average, on-base percentage, runs batted in, and matched his career high in home runs. At just 24 years of age, Freeman is only just beginning. One of the best young studs in the game, I am expecting Freeman to have a similar jump in statistics as Paul Goldschmidt had last year.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .310 AVG, 100 Runs, 35 HR's, 115 RBI, 1 SB

Second Base: Robinson Cano, Seattle Mariners

There is not much to be said here. Cano is so much better than anyone else at his position. Despite a lineup to seemed like a Seattle Mariner lineup in New York last year, he still managed to put up stellar numbers. Expect him to replicate last years numbers, in what is sure to be a similar lineup situation he had last year, if not a tad better.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .300 AVG, 90 Runs, 27 HR's, 100 RBI, 5 SB

Third Base: Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers

Just like with Cano, not much can be said about Miguel Cabrera. Even though Cabrera loses his protection in Prince Fielder, he is sure to produce. As one of the top two players in the game right now, it would be hard to bet against another third baseman matching Cabrera this year.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .335 AVG, 105 Runs, 40 HR's, 135 RBI, 2 SB

Shortstop: Hanley Ramirez, Los Angeles Dodgers

If it wasn't for a shortened season due to injury, Hanley may have won the MVP award. He was simply that good. Shortstops have been weak in recent years, but it is starting to become one of the deeper positions in the game. With that being said, Hanley separates himself due to his ability to do it all. In one of the best lineups in the game, and hitting in the middle of the order, Hanley will please many of his owners if he can give them a healthy season.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .320 AVG, 100 Runs, 30 HR's, 95 RBI, 25 SB

Left Field: Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels

Mike Trout along with Miguel Cabrera are the consesus top two picks in every draft. The real question is do you want power or speed? With Trout, you can get both, which is a plus. With that being said, since Cabrera is a third baseman, Trout is the best outfielder in baseball. When picking a left fielder, of course it's Trout. With Pujols back in what I expect to be a very strong bounce back year, and Josh Hamilton settling in a healthy Angels lineup, Mike Trout will be able to show what he can really do. Boy is it scary to think he can be even better than he's been the last two years.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .330 AVG, 115 Runs, 35 HR's, 90 RBI, 45 SB

Center Field: Jacoby Ellsbury, New York Yankees

It was only a couple years ago, when Jacoby Ellsbury was a top five overall pick, and the top outfielder in fantasy baseball. Today, Andrew McCutchen stands in his way from being the top center fielder. However, with the new setting Ellsbury is in, I believe he will be the top player at his position this season. Ellsbury has shown pop in his bat in the past, but recently it has disappeared. In Yankee Stadium, he has a very good chance at reviving his power. Along with his ability to steal bases, and being at the top of a Yankee lineup, Ellsbury will shine.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .305 AVG, 100 Runs, 25 HR's, 75 RBI, 50 SB

Right Field: Jay Bruce, Cincinatti Reds

Right Field is easily the weakest of the three Outfield positions. If you are in a league that doesn't require one from each position, then it doesn't matter, but the crop of stud right fielders are limited. Jay Bruce is entering his prime this year, and really stood out last year. Setting a career high in RBI and matching it in runs, Bruce had a fantastic season. He has also been one of, if not the most durable right fielder in the game. In fantasy baseball, that is as important as any other statistic. Jose Bautista and Giancarlo Stanton are the most talented right fielders in the game, but they simply can't stay on the field. Bruce, entering his prime, could top last season. If he can get his average up 15 or so points, he would be a late first-mid second round pick in most drafts.

Projected 2014 Statistics: .270 AVG, 90 Runs, 35 HR's, 115 RBI, 5 SB

Starting Pitcher: Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers

It is always difficult to project starting pitching because any pitcher can get injured in his first start of the year. Remember when Brandon Webb was a second round pick and only lasted four innings before missing the rest of the season? Kershaw is the best in the game, and is on a team that will provide him wins. It would be a mistake not to take Kershaw as the first pitcher in a draft.

Projected 2014 Statistics, 2.15 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 18 Wins, 230 K's

Relief Pitcher: Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta Braves

Kimbrel is so, so good. His ability to strikeout batters as a closer is incredible, and his job of keeping guys off base is exactly what everybody wants in a closer. Kimbrel does an even better job of what people want. That is how good he is. On a team that wins, and plays in a lot of close games, Kimbrel is the best in the game. Job security is the most important thing for any closer, and Kimbrel has the most security out of them all.

Projected 2014 Statistics, 1.50 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 5 Wins, 48 Saves, 110 K's
