1) a 26 year-old shortstop with a .347 OBP in his first year in the majors. It's a small sample, but his minor league numbers suggest he may be able to stay close to that OBP.
2) a 28 year-old shortstop with a career .295 OBP in 2751 Major League At Bats. This guy has proven again and again that he cannot get on base. He will never get on base. Some may say he should only be a utility infielder. I submit that he is too offensively inept to be on a Major League roster.
Of course, Tony La Russa has chosen #2 to be his starting shortstop. When you pair him with 2nd baseman Adam Kennedy, you have the worst middle infield in all of baseball.
We're in for a long, long season.
