I feel the game is so radically different, today, than of that era. However for the sake of the question, Nellie Fox would be very highly paid in todays game. Very good contact/gap hitter, with solid speed and elite defense is handsomely awarded in really any era.

And to answer I would wager

Schwarber
Chris Davis
Adam Dunn
Mark Reynolds

Boston may be a possibility for him to go, as his buddy Yoshida plays there. If he moves at all, I’d bet he settles on a west coast team.

Reynolds is #1, but Schwarber is not #4.
