Vinnie has at least 3 inches and 25 pounds on Seager, maybe more. Catricala doesn't look outclassed by the aircraft carrier named Blake Beavan (Cat's in the shades looking at the photographer, Blake's on the left).
Kyle and Vinnie have similar doubles output, but Seager will never hit the HRs that Vinnie can bomb. Neither guy takes a ton of walks (and their IsoW is basically identical), both hit for a high average. Vinnie just hits double the HRs that Seager does.
I like Kyle. I'm starting to get the feeling that Kyle is our trade piece. I would not be at all surprised to see him go back to Tacoma at 2B and tear it up for a bit while we wait for whatever trade we need to make this team work.
If his value on the market isn't huge I'd prefer to keep him as a utility guy, but if we don't like him as an emergency SS then that's more Kawasaki's role (once Franklin arrives anyway - Kawasaki will likely start more games for us than Brendan Ryan this year).
If Vinnie works out at third... We have a ridiculous amount of depth and young talent in the lineup. In fact... chart time.
