I would take the position player.

If the SP developed fully, he'd be just about the top ranking pitcher in my game, in part because of the extreme GB pitching, and then also ability to hold runners. His 5 pitches might help make him more likely to be still be decent if some pitches fail to develop. But his chances of developing are really hindered by the poor intelligence and the fragile injury history. Any injuries will slow his development and risk causing reduction in his potential, and then he'll be on the disabled list more if he makes it to the ML too.

The SS's offensive abilities would be just a bit short of the elite superstars if he fully developed, according to my formulas. He'd have an amazing OBP, though nearly half of the time he'll be on base would be from a walk, I think. So I think you wouldn't bat him behind someone who is a threat to steal, since a steal there is likely to be for nothing if he walks so much. He'd make a great 3B, but could play anywhere in the infield, and maybe the outfield if we could see his stats there, so that flexibility could give him a home on any team.

But best of all, he is most likely to develop well with both high work ethic and intelligence.
