13. Zack Cozart

Position: SS | Age: 32

Current Team: Reds | Best Fit: Reds

2017 Stats: .297 BA, .933 OPS, 24 HR, 63 RBI, 3 SB

Cozart had a career year across the board, and according to FanGraphs was 11th in the NL in WAR (5.0), just behind Paul Goldschmidt. So he's going to get paid, right? Perhaps not, for the same reason the Reds couldn't find a taker for him at the deadline. There's just a glut of shortstops in baseball right now, and virtually no team without a young one or a highly paid one. Except, perhaps ... for the Reds.
