Albies and Chapman both with 5.5+ WAR in their first ~full season (Chapman a couple games more and Albies a handful of games less) and both are controlled through 2023.

5-6 WAR position players with 5.5 years left of control belong in the top 20.

Suarez is signed long term below market value and is a top 5 3B bat. Think he belongs at least there.

Agree on Springer and Sanchez being too high. Turner, Freeman, Syndergaard seem a little high to me as well.

Track record counts, and while these guys weren’t rookies last year, you might have found Tommy Pham, Zack Cozart, Chris Taylor or Marcell osuna on this list. Baseball can be so year to year. Albies & Chapman are valuable but a great defensive 3B who is a meh hitter isn’t the 17th most valuable commodity

I keep hearing money being a detriment but unless you’re talking Stanton like contract, a great player with a proven track record still in their prime is going to command a large hall, $20mil a year or not.
