My observations:
Piersall will never hit much. He is the rare example of a defensive wiz whose bat still keeps him out of the lineup. Nonetheless, he's a useful piece as defensive sub, pinch runner, and occasional pinch hitter v. left.
Hidalgo will hit well enough to play at lower levels but becomes semi-worthless with the bat as your team advances because of his avoid K rating. He's the better choice if you're still below Gold level because his defense will be above average and he'll hit some. As you move up, he becomes another weak hitter with slightly worse defense than Piersall.
Overall, Hidalgo is better, but they're both weak Perfect cards (which is common for cards released early in the yearly cycle, as these were).
