Highest upside: Eric Younger. His steals could make him approach Reyes levels of utility from 2B, assuming he can pass Deermeat for playing time and keep his XBH and AVG up.

Lowest floor: Allen. His PT seems most likely to be somewhat secure even with Jackson's return from the wilderness. Allen's ceiling is truly the lowest in this group, too.

Borbon is a true wild card. He has the upside to best them all potentially, but I really doubt he's going to get enough PT to put it in effect. Hamilton might very well be healthy next year, for all we know.

Overall, fantasy wise, I take the M-INF with the steals over the OF or IB, and I have Borbon second in this lot.
