As someone who has seen both play in the minors, Brignac's defense is no where NEAR as bad as Upton's. Upton's problems stem from having god awful footwork and having a terrible work ethic. Brignac's footwork is solid, and he has a tremendous work ethic. I've seen Reid play live several times since he was drafted, and I'm fairly certain he'll be able to stay at short. He'll never win a GG there, but he'll be good enough to play the position.
His bat is what will carry him. He's the real deal and then some.
