Guerra or Turner?

[Angels]

I was pleased to see this piece from Fangraphs over the weekend:

Who would you rather have as your shortstop of the future, Javier Guerra or Trea Turner? The Padres sent the latter to the Nationals last summer in a transaction that prompted the implementation of what is informally known as The Trea Turner Rule. They subsequently acquired Guerra from the Red Sox this winter as part of the Craig Kimbrel trade.

The defensively-gifted Guerra hit 15 home runs in the South Atlantic League as a 19-year-old. Baseball America recently ranked him the top prospect in the Padres system, and Alex Speier, who does BA’s Red Sox rankings, would have had him at No. 5 had he remained in Boston.

The 22-year-old Turner made his big-league debut last August, 14 months after being drafted 13th overall out of North Carolina State University. Still rookie-eligible after getting just 44 plate appearances, he’s ranked by Baseball America as Washington’s No. 2 prospect.

Asked which player he prefers, a scouting executive I spoke to was hesitant to give a definitive answer – even off the record. He did allow that opinions around the game probably vary, adding that a lot depends on tolerance for risk, given Guerra’s age and lack of experience.
