No they’re not. By WAR (or fWAR plus bWAR I guess) Varsho has been the best of the three this year. The metrics just do not back up your assertion. Yes Varsho has had a poor batting year but he is the best defender and the best base runner. And it’s not like the other two are having a stellar years. If you go by track records Gurriel has never had a year (or ever will) comparable to Varshos last year.
