Wonder what type of players Nick C and Turner will be.

Right now just based on Top 5s, I’d roughly rank them in the order of DBacks, Orioles, Reds, Tigers, Boston. Or something like that. Don’t hold me to that, I did it totally unscientifically. Also, as you hint at, if these lists were expanded to Top 10 bonuses, then the Tigers would likely move ahead.
It makes sense that the Tigers started making a concerted push earlier this decade. This list says as much, and, it really shows in the major-league level. Remember that there was a Tigers season earlier this decade that was in contention for being a worst team ever. The Os look like they are making a similar push ever since MacPhail has taken charge behind Wieters, Machado, and Matusz signings, all of which are some type of respective franchise records in consecutive years.
