Who would you start at Second Base for Blue Jays?

GPBBall · 10-31-2020, 12:07 PM

I have Cavan Biggio who is coming off a great season(all star caliber) and I picked up Vidal Brujan in Rule 5 and just stored him on my mlb squad for a year because his potential was just that enticing. It has now reached the point where I'm unsure on who to start and there are 2 very good players. I already have Bo Bichette at SS so I don't know what to do. You think I should make a trade to get some assets? Here are some screenshots of them.

Not nearly enough information to make a decision. The makeup of your team. Who are your backups/depth. Where you're at on the win curve. Your financial situation.

They look to be similarly productive players for this year. Maybe an edge to Biggio in part because he's done it before.

Just based on the screenshots, I would go with Biggio since he is the proven commodity and his defensive stats are just a little better. I would hang onto Brujan and see how he fairs playing other positions he doesn't show ratings for including the OF and see if you can turn him into a super utility player. And if you lose Biggio to injury or he gets too expensive to keep, you plug Brujan in as the starter.

FWIW, Brujan has been an all-star caliber 2B & leadoff hitter in my Rays save, so he'd have my vote. Here are his numbers (2026 in progress):

Either one of them can handle any IF position with those ratings. Toss one at 3B.
