| 1 | Trea Turner (WAS) | Pencil in 15 homers and 50 stolen bases…….as a floor. |
| 2 | Francisco Lindor (CLE) | A huge power spike from the youngster saw him mash 33 long balls in 2017. He chipped in with 15 stolen bases. He doesn’t turn 25-years-of-age until this coming November. |
| 3 | Carlos Correa (HOU) | The odds of the speed diminishing as he aged were high, but in his age-23 season? |
| 4 | Alex Bregman (HOU, 3B) | He just missed being a 20-20 player in his sophomore campaign. He’ll blow by both of those numbers in 2018. |
| 5 | Elvis Andrus (TEX) | Elvis left the building 20 times in 2017, up from his previous high of eight. Is it sustainable? |
| 6 | Corey Seager (LAD) | In a year where power exploded, Seager took a small step backwards, falling to 22 homers from his 2016 total of 26. He’s young with enormous potential, but don’t pay for elite skills until they arrive. |
| 7 | Jean Segura (SEA) | The move from Arizona to Seattle didn’t help his power game, which was to be expected. He’ll be back up to 30-plus thefts in 2017. |
| 8 | Xander Bogaerts (BOS) | Someone forgot to tell Bogaerts that 2017 was the year of the homer, as his totals plummeted from 21-to-10. The stolen bases took a small uptick. A bounce back into the 15 homer range would help. |
| 9 | Didi Gregorius (NYY) | On September 20, he broke the all-time record for most home runs in a season by a Yankee shortstop. Going “Dutch” isn’t such a bad thing. |
| 10 | Marwin Gonzalez (HOU, 1B, 2B, OF) ` | The combination of power/speed and multi-position eligibility can’t and shouldn’t be ignored. |
| 11 | Javier Baez (CHC, 2B) | 23-75 with ten thefts in 469 at-bats was a very good 2017. If the Cubbies can find Baez another 100 at-bats, 2018 could be a great season. |
| 12 | Marcus Semien (OAK) | A fractured scaphoid at the base of his right hand cost Semien seven weeks. He still managed a career high with 12 stolen bases. A 20-10 floor is a solid place to start for the under-rated Semien. |
| 13 | Tim Anderson (CWS) | Even with his inability to draw a walk (13 in 587 at-bats) the power and speed both showed noticeable increases and that trend should continue. |
| 14 | Orlando Arcia (MIL) | A 20-20 season is in his future. |
| 15 | Trevor Story (COL) | Plenty of power. Plenty of strikeouts. Same old Story. |
| 16 | Jose Peraza (CIN, 2B) | He stole 23 bases in 487 at-bats in 2017, with his time split between 2B and SS. This year he owns the SS gig. Pencil him in for at least 30 thefts, with a ceiling that could rank him among the Top-5 base stealers in the game. |
| 17 | Addison Russell (CHC) | A bout of plantar fasciitis cost him six weeks in the second half. The marital strife definitely took its toll. It was a year to forget for the 24-year-old Russell. He did manage a 21 homer, 95 RBI season in 2016 so if you’re looking for a bounce-back candidate, he fits the bill. |
| 18 | Gleyber Torres (NYY) | Even if he spends a month down on the farm, the other five will more than make up for the lost time. |
| 19 | Jorge Polanco (MIN) | The best Polanco in the game. |
| 20 | Andrelton Simmons (LAA) | He won’t be as good as the first half, nor as bad as the second. |
| 21 | Chris Owings (ARZ, 2B, OF) | A bit of power. A bit more speed. Lots of roster flexibility. |
| 22 | Paul DeJong (STL) | Who is Paul DeJong and how did he hit 38 homers between Triple-A and the Majors last year? |
| 23 | Amed Rosario (NYM) | He’s taking a bit of a back seat to some of the other high-upside young guns, but shouldn’t be. |
| 24 | Brandon Crawford (SF) | 84, 84, and 77 RBI’s the past three seasons. That’ll work in deeper Leagues. |
| 25 | Tim Beckham (BAL) | It’s nice to see the Rays finally get a return on that $6.15 million signing bonus. |
| 26 | Zack Cozart (LAA) | A new team. A new position. Hopefully, the same results. |
| 27 | Yangervis Solarte (TOR, 2B, 3B) | He’s really going to enjoy the move from San Diego to Toronto. Devon Travis and Troy Tulowitzki’s on-going health issues are a guarantee that Solarte won’t struggle to find playing time. |
| 28 | Ketel Marte (ARZ) | Are we beginning to see the Marte we expected when he first came up with the Mariners? |
| 29 | Freddy Galvis (SD) | Holding down the fort until the arrival of uber-prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. |
| 30 | Troy Tulowitzki (TOR) | If he’s healthy breaking camp, enjoy the moment. There won’t be enough of them. |
| 31 | Asdrubal Cabrera (NYM, 2B, 3B) | |
| 32 | Dansby Swanson (ATL) | |
| 33 | Daniel Robertson (TAM, 2B) | |
