Going to combine these 2 guys since they seem similar to me.
Santana 2014: 430pa 319/353/472, 7hr, 20sb, 70r, 40rbi. 4.4% walk rate, 22.8% K rate, .405 BABIP, 26% LD rate, 45.9% GB rate
Santana projections: 519pa .261-7-42-58r-18sb (steamer)
Segura 2014: 557pa 246/289/326, 5hr, 20sb, 61r, 31rbi, 5.0% walk rate, 12.6% K rate, .275 BABIP, 18.3% LD rate, 58.9% GB rate
Segura projections: 517pa .262-8-46-52r-20sb (steamer)
Obviously vastly different last year, but steamer projects them to meet in the middle. I think Santana has more power but Segura has more upside in steals. Both seem like they should be guaranteed PT unless they totally suck - MIN has Eduardo Escobar who can play SS and Hicks/Buxton/Schafer who can play CF and MIL has Sardinas as a bench guy. I don't know if Santana sticks in the leadoff spot for MIN - they have Dozier who could hit #1 and Mauer who could hit #2.
I'll post a poll so people can vote but I'm curious if anyone is particularly high/low on either guy.
