When the Milwaukee Brewers signed Eric Thames in the winter of 2016, no one was really sure what they would get. He was a tremendous player in Korea but his stats in MLB weren’t that impressive. On the flip side, Jesus Aguilar was put on waivers by Cleveland, and the Brewers claimed him.
Both of these players were productive in their first seasons in Milwaukee. But which player is better and which one deserves to start at first base in 2018?
Eric Thames
Thames hot start bought him a lot of leeway the rest of the season.
