Rickard is a below average defender by most metrics, not a great hit tool, middling power with maybe above average speed.
Broxton is a dynamic defender, with legitimate power, plus-speed, a plus athlete with horrible contact skills.
Broxton is the type of player a rebuilding team can give at-bats to and see what happens. Rickard is the type of player for some reason Baltimore fans seem to adore despite the fact there's nothing there that screams major league starter even if he put everything together.
