Yeah, I don't know if that's a legit reason to keep people down in their rankings.  Miguel Sano strikes out every bit as much as those two do, yet you still saw him in the top 3 of every ranking for the last three years.  I don't think anyone would argue that B&B don't have almost as much, if not as much, power potential as Sano.

 

Fair point, although Sano is younger than either Baez or Bryant--and has a far better walk rate than the former. Really, though, we're talking about the difference of a few slots.

Sano is also going to be recovering from Tommy John for a while and is unlikely to be the defender either Baez or Bryant are. And especially in Baez's case the value is higher while Baez is a middle infielder. I think most executives would take Baez and Bryant over Sano at the moment.
