Not by much, but Trea Turner is a far superior SS to Bregman.

They had roughly the same BA (.368/.369), Trea had 1 more HR, a higher SLG%, higher OBP, almost double the SB (16/30) and plays a much better Defense. That's taking nothing away from Bregman, but Turner is possibly a top 5 pick in the draft. He has the glove to stay at SS in the bigs, while Bregs will need a move to 2B.

I see Bregs being remarkably similar to Aaron Hill in the MLB, which is a great thing. Turner is probably a very poor man's Tulo, which is still an asset.

If Bregman could've remained at C, I would have no doubt he would be a top 5 pick in 2015. But teams know he won't stay at SS, so he'll go late 1st Rd.
