The first part of this question is very awkward... Seeing as there are 8 other positions aside from pitcher. Player X might be the best first basemen, but might not be as good as Y at shortstop. That being said, I really can't pick the best 'position player'. However, I will say Weaver takes the cake for pitching. Amazing ERA.
Also, I will throw in a vote for best hitter to Jose Reyes. And a close second to Adrian Gonzalez.
Best position player meaning hitting, and fielding. It's not like it's difficult to compare a shortstop to a first baseman.
I have to say Jose Bautista. Offensively and defensively he is just incredible. He is at or near the top of so many offensive categories. If he was on the Red Sox and had the people hitting in front of him that Gonzalez does, then he would have as many or more RBIs. On top of that he is a great right fielder and third basemen.
He played right field for the first chunk of the season so far (and made the all-star team as a right fielder) but was moved to third when the jays had enough with 0 offense from the hot corner. As good as Bautista is at third, he says that he thinks right field is his best position.
