Best By Position -- National League

So, how about we take a look at the players who are currently above league average for their position? Sound good? Alrighty...

Took the league average for OPS, OBP, isolated SLG, got the players who were over the average and here's the results by raw positional OPS+ (player OPS / positional OPS, with no weight for league or park factor).
