They're basically equal, but it's worth pointing out that Brecheen gets a +15 stuff boost in the bullpen while Vida Blue only gets +10. So, if we're really all about the margins and eeking out each point, then Brecheen does come out a bit ahead as a reliever: 115/84/82 to Blue's 112/83/82.
By the way, I spent 8.5K for silver Enos Slaughter, 20K for gold Harvey Haddix, 21K for diamond Solly Hemus, and 1.5K for silver Howie Pollett. That's a grand total of 51K (clearly a couple of overpays in there), but for a card that people are still sleeping on. I expect the components to the Stan The Man mission to go up and was happy to get in for just 50K when a similar SE Vida Blue card is still fetching 150K a couple of months later.

I may or may not have taken this post to heart and just finished collecting the cards to acquire Mr. Brecheen and sent down Warren Spahn so that Vida Blue and Brecheen could coexist in my bullpen...
