- Ketel Marte broke out in a big way in 2019. Who can we expect in 2020?

- Another youngster, Bo Bichette, also had success in 2019, his ADP is not near as high as Tatis, but still good. Who is better more long term?

- Javier Baez declined in 2019, do we think he goes back to how he played in 2018 or is this more of what we will get?
