Good job on rankings. For fun I will name 3 I would drop down a fair bit, and 3 I would raise a fair bit.
Drop down Austin Meadows (likely platooning), Chris Yelich (now just average), and Jorge Soler (his type sometimes don’t even get a contract ) Now guys I would bump up….Luis Arraez (full time .300 hitter who can score runs). Yordan Alvarez could be top 5 or 6. And Julio Rodriguez, who will play AAA for a month but can hit even in the majors as a rookie. Finally 3 guys who I agree will be higher than most think….glad you rated them well. They are Kyle Tucker # 4. (I even put him ahead of Betts)
Seiya Suzuki, who should be an excellent hitter right away, and then Nick Castellanos, who might be even better, but you are correct that he should be highly rated. Good job.
