B/R MLB Offseason 100: The Top 20 Outfielders Available

After taking a stroll through the top pitchers, infielders and catchers on the market this winter, it's now time for the B/R MLB Offseason 100 to wrap things up with a look at the market's top outfielders.

By plucking players from the free-agent and trade markets, we've compiled a list of the offseason's 20 most desirable outfielders. As for how the rankings work, each player is rated according to a scoring system that adds up to a total of 100 points:

• Talent Outlook: Out of 70. This is where we look at how guys have performed recently and consider the outlook of their skills going forward. Think of 35 out of 70 as a league-average player and 70 out of 70 as an all-world, Mike Trout-like talent.
• Durability Outlook: Out of 20. This is where we probe injury histories for a projection for how guys' bodies will hold up. Think of 10 out of 20 as signaling a toss-up as to whether a player will remain durable, with 20 out of 20 indicating no concerns whatsoever. But to keep things fair, we'll only allow a ceiling of 15 points for players in line for short-term commitments.
• Value Outlook: Out of 10. This is where we try to project what kind of contract or trade package it's going to take to acquire a guy and then determine if he'd be worth it. Think of five out of 10 as a fair deal, with zero being a megabust and 10 being a megasteal.

In the event of ties, the nod goes to the player we'd rather sign or trade for.
