50. SS Brandon Crawford, SF (EDIT: Previously Zack Cozart, CIN)

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong...Brandon Crawford deserves this spot over it's previous inhabitant Zack Cozart. Crawford, who has been known more of his glove than his bat during his time in the bigs, is currently hitting .298/.387/.511 with eight doubles, six home runs and 26 RBI for a 2.2 WAR.

49. C Yasmani Grandal, LAD

In his first season with the Dodgers, Yasmani Grandal has proved to be a huge upgrade over A.J. Ellis, hitting .287 with an .867 OPS. He also ranks first in the league in pitch-framing, according to Stat Corner.

48. RP Joakim Soria, DET

A disaster last season, the Tigers bullpen has actually been a strength this year, and Joakim Soria is the primary reason why. He's a perfect 13-for-13 on save chances with a 1.00 ERA and 0.667 WHIP.

47. SP Michael Wacha, STL

With Adam Wainwright sidelined for the season, the Cardinals will need Michael Wacha to fill the role of staff ace, and so far he's done just that. Through seven starts, he's 6-0 with a 2.13 ERA and 1.046 WHIP, though his strikeout rate is down (5.5 K/9) and his FIP (3.76) is relatively high.

46. 2B Logan Forsythe, TB

A spring injury to Nick Franklin opened up an everyday role for longtime utility man Logan Forsythe, who has made the most of it. He's currently hitting .301/.377/.485 and playing plus defense.

45. SS Freddy Galvis, PHI

The offseason trade of Jimmy Rollins opened up the Phillies' everyday shortstop job for Freddy Galvis, and the 25-year-old has been one of the team's few bright spots. He's hitting .324/.386/.374 with a 1.3 WAR.

44. RP Aroldis Chapman, CIN

Aroldis Chapman has only seen seven save chances so far this year but has converted all of them, and he is once again putting up video game-esque strikeout numbers: 29 punchouts in 17.1 innings for a 15.1 K/9 mark.

43. SP Aaron Harang, PHI

Despite a solid 2014 season, Aaron Harang had to settle for a one-year, $5 million deal with the Phillies this past offseason, which has been one of the biggest steals of the year so far. The 37-year-old is 4-3 with a 1.82 ERA and 0.978 WHIP in eight starts.

42. SS Andrelton Simmons, ATL

The game's elite defensive player at any position, Andrelton Simmons has finally started to contribute with the bat this season. He's hitting .260/.319/.420 with 16 extra-base hits for a 101 OPS+.

41. 3B Kris Bryant, CHC

It took him a little while to find his power stroke, but Kris Bryant has shown some discipline at the plate throughout his brief time in the majors. He finally flashed some pop with three home runs last week and is currently hitting .291/.416/.464 with 25 RBI and 24 walks in 31 games.
