Drew or Upton

Which SS do you think will be better? (BJ UPton)

[Jenkins]

BJ Upton will never make the bigs as a SS. He already has 9 errors this year.

If you need an SS, take Drew.

i have drew on my team, but someone offered me upton, i know that upton will probably move to 3b, so if he moves to 3rd and comes up which one would be the better player?

Supposedly, Upton is the better hitter and Drew allegedly has the same issues regarding "playing tough" as his brother. That said, until BJ gets his defensive issues straightened out, I think Drew has the more immediate upside and is more likely to stay at SS.

I like Drew as a better hitter however, Upton I think is a 5 tool player... Drew lacks the speed but, has better power etc. then Upton. That's how I feel anywys.

upton with his 10 error today, not looking good.

Upton.

[2StepsBehind]

I agree ... Upton he has at least 20/20 potential. Drew will hit homeruns and get hurt often.

Upton is a better prospect (in very loose terms considering that elieable) because of his offensive potenial. However he probably eon't be able to stay at short. Errors are crudy measures of fielding, but you can't keep a guy in the middle infield who keeps screwing up the routine plays.

Upton might move to third or even center field (which could causes problems in th that already crowed situation).

[deerayfan072]

upton now has 13 erros on the season, most of which are throwing errors on routine plays. I think he is a head case. The drays would like him to move to first at the moment, but upton still says he wont move. I think he might want to think about a move, problem is the drays have a 1B of the future in wes bankston, so they may be looking to shop him around if they get him to move to 1st or OF.
