No Spec!
C'mon. Seager is a young, very talented, left-handed, mostly pull hitter. Why would you trade him? Unless you find a Rod Carew or young Ichiro, who is a better fit?
Safeco certainly impacts bats, seriously so. But it doesn't do so team selectively. We don't lose 2-1 because Safeco shafts us but not the other guys' fly balls.
I don't know if Safeco causes some players to "force" their swing, trying to smash through the cool air/wind, but that becomes an approach issue if it does.
I have no problem with experimenting with a semi-open roof, etc, but at some point you put the best talent on the field and go from there.
Lefty linedrive hitters make sense here, of course, but where don't they make sense?
And DaddyO, back in '01-'03, we piled in 3.5M, 3.5M and 3.3M folks....who didn't seem to mind the offense we put on the field, mostly because it was fairly prolific.
We can score runs here again. But we need guys who rip the ball.
Seager can do that. Let's hold on to him.
