Alcides Escobar or Andrelton Simmons?

Escobar broke out last season but i'm in doubt that he will be that kind of producer again this year.

Simmons is hitting above Freeman, the Uptons, and eventually McCann. I think he could have a huge spot as a leadoff hitter.

I don't want to pick up Simmons now and regret it, especially if Escobar goes on to have another big year. Suggestions? And is it worth making the transition?

    SIMMONS!!! Guarantee you he will have a big year. With a stacked line-up like Atlanta, If Simmons gets on base (Which he will have no trouble doing), he will probably be knocked in. More runs - more points.

    Escobar was on my team last year. SB's and singles seemed to be his most common source of income. Although a .300 hitter for most of the year he did not rack in the points I expected from him. And he plays in Kansas City....

    No question in my mind, Escobar over Simmons.
