I'll answer my own question with my uneducated perspective. Maybe it's easier for y'all to shoot my error-filled thoughts down than to rebuild from scratch. =)
If everybody - all four 3Bs, Franklin, Saunders, and Carp - pans out, I'm thinking Seager has more value as a trade chip than replacing Franklin at SS.  Same with Ackley at 2B and Saunders at CF, so Seager's my first man out. I'd rather sell him as a bat-first glove-worthy 2B than put him at 3B as adequate with the bat, but perhaps not as special.
You've sold me on the Cat, so I want him - and Carp I like as well. I don't care where they all play in the 3B/LF/DH rotation (not Carp at 3B considering the options), but I think I currently like Martinez at 3rd over Liddi at 3B/DH. May as well bump the Cat to DH at that point, if Martinez is his superior with the glove.
So I guess that leaves me proposing a M's team of DH(3B,LF)-Catricala, C(DH,1B)-Montero, 1B-Smoak, 2B-Ackley, SS-Franklin, 3B(LF,DH) Martinez, LF(DH,1B) Carp, CF Saunders.  What kind of RF do you think you could trade for with chips like SP Vargas, CI Liddi, 2B Seager, and one of Erasmo/Noesi (assuming a rotation of the other one, Felix, and our upcoming Big Three)?
