Chone Figgins vs Eric Young Jr

#1 Post by Black Sox »

Just wondering peoples opinion. I was in the camp before the season started that he would "rebound" hit around .280 - .290 with 40+ SB. Am I fooling myself? Should I move on? Looking at E.Young now that he just got called up. Who would you rather have rest of the year?

I think those were very rosy glasses you had on Figgins.
I think best case now is he finds some way to get on base more and maybe approach thirty stolen bases

BUT at least Figgins has a full time job - not clear how many AB Young will get in Colorado - frankly his defense has been so bad they haven't been able to find a place to play him

For now I would certainly choose Figgins over Young if I Really needs the SB that bad and could buffer his BA
