Question

Who would you say is better/ who would you rather have on your team

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

see, if i was the Brewers i'd rather have JJ. This is why. I know Escobar is a better hitter, and has the potential to be a better fielder...but before this season, The brewers could have traded Escobar and gotten a #2 starter. I would take JJ, and a #2 pitcher in return for Escobar, and clearly be a better team long term.

And the Brewers got NOTHING for JJ anyways. Carlos Gomez is a nobody. He completely sucks.

To answer your question. Escobar is better.

I'd rather have JJ and trade Escobar. Escobar looks like a player that will peak at around a .280 batting average if you're lucky.

Answer 2

Escobar is younger....a better fielder. JJ is probably a better hitter but was slumping almost a whole year.

Escobar, with the big upside is the one I like.
