Peak Chase Utley or Peak Robbie Alomar
-
Who would you take?
-
Depends on the team makeup, they are both a little different.
Utley def had more pop, but Alomar's 1999 season where he had 24 home runs, 37 SB and a.955 OPS is hard to beat. So probably Alomar in a vacuum. -
If we’re going strictly by peak, I’ll take Utley for sure.
He had 5 straight seasons with 7+ fWAR from 2005-2009, with the last two being 8+. Alomar had 7 fWAR once in his career.
-
Depends on what I'm looking for.
If it's a leg breaking contest, Utley.
If it's a spitting contest, Alomar.
-
Utley had a far better prime but they had about the same quality careers
So if we're taking based on prime, Utley
-
Seems to be overlooked here, but Utley stole 23 bases ONCE, while Alomar stole over 50 bases TWICE.
-
Video Game: Alomar
Real Life: Utley -

Stolen bases really don’t mean much.

I mean a stolen base can prevent a possible double play or turn a regular single into an RBI single, so it is kinda important in that sense.
I’d take Robbie over Chase, not just because I’m a biased Jays fan, but because he’s everything I want in a second baseman: .300 hitter, great glove, and speed.
-
It's super close. I'm a Jays fan but also am a huge fan of Utley. No bias here. They are very different but same result. Almost identical war too

Stolen bases add almost nothing to a player’s value though. That’s why very few players even attempt stolen bases now, even though they could definitely do it. They just aren’t worth doing.
Utley was a .300 hitter during his prime as well, and was a better defender than Alomar. He was also a better base runner. Not necessarily faster, but just a better base runner.
They were both fantastic players though, and you can’t really go wrong with either one.

The only reason I won a game today was on account of stolen bases, so I really depends upon utilization.
If you don't steal, then you probably get more value out of Chase.

My CAP is named Chase Utley, so there's my answer.
-
alomar all day baby

I’m talking about irl, not in the game. It’s incredibly easy to steal bases in MLB The Show lol

Hey, early 2000s Alfonso Soriano was a decent second basemen, and had enough pop to cover up any bad fielding

Yeah he wasn’t bad by any means, but he doesn’t compare with utley or alomar.
