The debate rages - Would youy rather have Kadri or Brett Lawrie

A little over a year ago, I thought it was a fair argument that we compared Brett Lawrie, and Kadri.

Usually it becomes clearer that one of these two local athletes would exert themselves as the better choice by now, but after almost 2 years, we are not any further ahead.

I have watched both players have huge hi lights and major low lights, but both always show tremendous upside. Kadri gets the big goal in a big game, Brett Lawrie display remarkable defensive skills, and makes incredible plays in the field.

They both have the eyes of the city of Toronto upon them as Canadian born talent. Kadri a real local, Lawrie a BC home product in an American sport.  They both arrived with fanfare. Kadri, the first round pick of the Leafs, Lawrie was acquired via trade.

The other similarity is position, Lawrie has played 3rd base predominantly, but 2nd base most recently and Kadri has bounced from wing to centre , form 3rd line, 2nd line, and had a tryout with Kessel.

I also think Kadri has the largest edge because Toronto is a Leaf town, but Lawrie has the chance to play twice as many games as Kadri.

So who is ahead of whom at this point ?

Leaf fans would say Kadri, but he has been the centre of so many trade rumours,I don't think management totally hears the die hard fans.

After the Jays season is over, the spotlight is back on Kadri, and with Lawrie's injuries, he can have the stage again.  I still don't have the answer, the debate rages on.
