Contract Crowdsourcing 2019-20: Ballot 4 of 10
Free agency begins five days after the end of the World Series. As in other recent offseasons, FanGraphs is once again facilitating a contract-crowdsourcing project this offseason, the idea being to harness the wisdom of the crowds to the end of better understanding the 2019-20 free-agent market.
Below are ballots for eight of this year’s free agents — in this case, a group of outfielders. Numbers are prorated to full season where noted. Projected WAR figures from final the update of the 2019 Steamer forecast.

So far, Ozuna’s the only eligible FA on the list who would seem to have a real chance at receiving a QO. His competition is…Castellanos? Gardner? I don’t think he’ll end up making *that* much, but he does seem to be the one upside-guy available in the OF without a having to make a trade (depending on your opinion of Puig, I suppose)
