He looks for real, should be in 20's probably. Although the position and age questions hurt a tad. But no question he should've been on the list. Kendry was an oversight, and a big one too.

I realize he's more productive than most if not all on the list, and if you have the room, you have to do it. But the net is, that's one out of 23 players taking up over 20% of your payroll. If he was at C or MI, I think it would've been a closer call, although still can't see him making my list. 10:$20M, 11:$20M, 12:$21M, 13:$21M, 14:$22M, 15:$22M

But when talking about players in a similar grouping, like Napoli, Ellsbury, Crawford, and Youk, it could go either way. Obviously Napoli's positional rankings is what pushed him ahead of the other players mentioned. I only have 4 catchers total in the top 50, and only two started the year in the bigs (Napoli and Mauer). For Napoli, the increased PT (on pace for 480 AB's), lower K rate, and increased in Bavg + counting stats, really pushed him forward in my eyes. The power is still there, on pace for 28HR's, and a triple slash of 278/364/510, while under control for the next three years. Crawford's contract status and position pushed him down the list. Same with Ellsbury, less contract status. And Youk gets expensive at the wrong time. He hits 10+M per season while entering his early 30's. Hypothetically, yes.
