Corey Hart is not gonna cut it long-term and can't play 150 games in the field, LoMo is barely an OF, and we're playing two converted infielders in the OF already (Ackley played 1B/2B and Romero was a 2B/3B) - 3 if you consider that Almonte started his minor league career as a 2B too.
It'd be nice to get a thumper who is also a born OF. If Seager can get us one, it'll be hard to argue even though we'll lose the WAR argument. Sometimes team need means you trade the 4 WAR 3B for the 2.5 WAR corner OF, because all your other corner OF are negative WAR players.
Either that, or you hope yet another IF/OF conversion in DJ or Kivlehan works out, or Austin Wilson suddenly puts it together and becomes Andre Dawson.
I wouldn't mind those being plans B and C on the list. Not forcing them to be plan A is okay with me. But you gotta get the right guy back for Seager first.
