Mike Trout Jose Altuve Kris Bryant Nolan Arenado Giancarlo Stanton Bryce Harper Manny Machado Francisco Lindor Carlos Correa Corey Seager
Considered some others:
Betts' value is very dependent on outfield defense, which I trust less from year to year.
Votto is 34, so he's either old or about to be old even though he was the best hitter in the NL last year
Goldschmidt is 30 and probably the best bet to meet expectations at the plate, but he's just a 1B and merely really, really good.
Judge had the best season last year but I'm not convinced yet that he isn't doing some 2013-Chris-Davis-act and he regresses from MVP-type-player to good.

Good list
I chose Judge over Stanton because he’s a better hitter and his glove is better.
I love Goldschmidt and he probably should be top 10, but I am loving Gregorius and Votto a bit more right now. I had to add Perez to have a catcher on the list. Perez has been one of the best players in the game for years now.
