guys who seem low to me:
trout: understand injury risk but that applies to tatis, robert, etc too
vaughn: expect big things outta his bat in year 2 and in a great lineup
yaz: rebounding from .254 BABIP will vault him 30-40 spots higher
marsh: shoulder injury hampered his debut, strong obp skill with the guys behind him will have him scoring 100+ R, might put up 15/15 HR/SB too
mckinstry: minors k rate indicate he’s gonna improve strikeouts, versatility + dodgers imply good things in his future a la Chris Taylor
guys i’d fade:
teoscar, he’ll get his 30HR but i’m not convinced either the .354 BABIP or 10+ SB will stick
Varsho, I understand the unique versatility but he hasn’t shown he can actually hit much
jesus sanchez, the strikeouts really scare me
raimel tapia, the 20 SBs last year were very unexpected and he provides very little else
