Guerrero Jr. is an easy choice for the top spot in the rankings after a monstrous breakout campaign in 2021. His all-around offensive skill set places him in his own tier at the position. Hoskins is someone who could deliver top-10 positional value without requiring that level of pick in your draft. Torkelson, the Tigers' top prospect, appears ready to attack major-league pitching after belting 30 homers in 121 minor-league games last season. There could be some growing pains, but Torkelson's upside is worth reaching for in the late rounds of drafts.
