As with shortstops, the NL has a strong and deep class of thirdbasemen. There are certainly differences amongst the top six or seven, but I would not feel cheated to end up with Ryan Zimmerman if it allowed me to grab Jose Reyes, Chase Utley and/or Jason Schmidt with my first three picks.
An interesting player is Royals 3B-soon-to-be-LF Mark Teahen. If his emergence is real and his power pro-rates over a full season, he'd be the third best AL-only 3B. And if his SBs do the same, he'd be #2. Five categories has more value than the single dominating one Figgins provides. Even if it doesn't, an argument can be made that he is already there. The AL 3B position is weak.
