Update from a year ago. These guys are nearing the end of their 10th year. My thoughts:
Betts -- virtual lock. Jose Ramirez -- will get there if he continues at this pace, but not yet a lock. Bogaerts -- possible but relatively unlikely, as he seems to have declined a bit off his peak in the late 2010s. DeGrom -- no.

Ramirez - agree. He could be Adrian Beltre (without the Gold Gloves)...or he could fall off and be Josh Donaldson (not a Gold Glover, but pretty respectable defensively). Bogaerts - Not sure if he's slipped or if he's still trying to acclimate to the tougher on hitters National League West. His defensive metrics don't generally help his statistics, so he's going to have to get in solely on his offensive production. DeGrom - Agree |

Not that he isn't damn good, but early in his career I thought Ramirez was going to be a tier better, a true superstar. I feel like Bogaerts was falling back a little even before this year.
