Who are the best players in Major League Baseball heading into the 2015 season?

ESPN formed a panel of MLB writers, analysts and contributors to rank the top 100. We'll run through the top-10 lists at every position each day and unveil the top 25 Tuesday with a special edition of "Baseball Tonight" (8 ET, ESPN2 & WatchESPN).

The results will be announced on ESPN.com, Facebook ( ESPN Baseball Tonight) and Twitter ( @BBTN). Fans can use the hashtag #BBTN100 to join the discussion and follow along.

To compile the top 100, we polled more than 60 ESPN experts in February and March, starting with a list of more than 300 players. Using a 0-to-10 scale, they evaluated the players based only on how well they will perform in 2015. Players expected to miss 2015 with an injury were not included.

Miguel Cabrera remains on top at first, but for how much longer with a number of young sluggers right behind him?

Three players dropped out of last year's top 10 -- Joe Mauer, Chris Davis, Allen Craig. Check out the list below to see who jumped into the top 10 for 2015.
