Who would you rather have?  I have Segura and thinking about acquiring Adams.  They were ranked side-by-side in Kevin Goldstein's preseason top 101, and both had very good minor league years and poor performances in MLB in limited time.

Given that they are both unknowns on top of the depth at 1B and the lack of depth for MIs, I'd go with Segura.
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

I like Segura's potential, especially if he moves up in the order. Adams looked shaky last year and will have to be traded to get any value. There is just no room for him in St. Louis, while Segura basically has a full time role locked up.

Segura for sure, and I say this as someone who has Matt Adams' rights.  Segura has a job and should get you a pretty good baseline of production you can predict, Adams is more of a mystery.  That said, this is the exact type of situation where they guy will explode for 31 bombs and we all will be eating crow.

love Segura long term.  high average hitter with gap power and some speed.  I can see him moving up to the #2 spot if he'll take some walks.
