Turner looks healthy and has been hitting the life out of the ball in spring. As long as he keeps making excellent contact - traditionally his calling card - he'll be worth a mid-round pick even as he gets older. He's perpetually undervalued despite hitting in the middle of one of baseball's best lineups.
Suarez is a bit of a question mark as he works his way back from surgery. He may not be 100 percent to open the season, which makes him difficult to trust as a top-10 third baseman. But the fact he may be ready for Opening Day despite the injury, in addition to his massive power (49 homers in 2019), means he can't be ignored on draft day. Don't reach, but be sure to pick him up if he drops.
Machado come with too much uncertainty to trust him as a top pick, particularly after he failed to post imposing numbers in his inaugural season with the Friars. He's got two hits through spring training, and though one can't weigh that too heavily, his floor appears to be much lower than it once was.
Washington Nationals infielder Carter Kieboom would be creeping into the bottom 10 if he already qualified at the position, but he won't have third-base eligibility in all leagues until he gets a few regular-season starts at the hot corner.
