[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1419395, member: 588522"] Those four you mentioned there are the only ones I would consider as 100% locks. Machado, Ramirez, Bryant, etc. are all a step below them, but only because there are some signs that worry you about their total value. Not saying those guys wont get the type of contract that Trout or Betts will/did, there just a noticeable jump in risk (albeit still very low). Bryants problem is he probably wont stick as 3rd for very long, nor be a plus defender anywhere. Which is fine, but you're taking about those four above, they are GG and SS winners perennially (though Altuve is probably just an above average 2B), and that is worth something more. I would consider him in the top tier if he were to perennially challenge for the triple crown, but his plate discipline is quite there. He's still so young anything is possible offensively though.
