Probably McFarland and Wilson will be optioned when Matusz and gausman return

In my opinion, Machado needs to put up at least one more elite season before being next to Trout and Harper. He’s definetly up there, I would say at worst he’s probably a top 10 hitter right now, but he’s still a tier below Trout and Harper.

Harper has only had one elite season.

As far as defense, he’s already had as many or more elite defensive years than those guys.

Too bad buck has him leading off he would be much more productive out of the 3 hole, last time I checked machado already had 5 home runs out of the lead off spot with 7 rbis, but the o’s have no one else who can hit lead off so we shall see

Rickard is currently batting leadoff. He’s faring pretty well so far.
