Contract Crowdsourcing 2016-17: Day 4 of 10

by
October 13, 2016

Free agency begins five days after the end of the World Series. As in other recent offseasons, FanGraphs is once again facilitating this offseason a contract-crowdsourcing project, the idea being to harness the wisdom of the crowds to the end of better understanding the giant and large 2016-17 free-agent market.

Below are links to ballots for five of this year’s free agents, including all corner outfielders, probably.

Other Players: Erick Aybar / Rajai Davis / Ian Desmond / Dexter Fowler / Carlos Gomez / Austin Jackson / Jon Jay / Mike Napoli / Wilson Ramos / Kurt Suzuki / Justin Turner / Chase Utley / Luis Valbuena / Neil Walker / Matt Wieters.
