You notice how many bat-first guys there are generally on the eight teams that made the playoffs? And some of them aren't particular good batters. I'm looking at you, Willie Bloomquist. Is there any reason to think Frankin and/or Seager couldn't play short as well as Willie? Or certainly better than the guy who's team beat him, Betancourt?
I think Franklin sticks at short and I think Liddi is worth a year's test at 3B. His glove was way better than I even hoped. Which means what for Seager? I'm with Sandy on him - I think the guy will be a well-above average MLB hitter. If it's me, I put Seager at 2b, move Ackley to CF, trade Guti and whatever other pieces it takes to get Ethier. He's worth the money. I don't see the health issues going forward. I've seen him a lot and he's a legit star at the plate and well better than average in OF. He plays LF next year, then depending on what happens with Ichiro, could move to RF if re-signed or let him walk if Wells/Robinson develop. Carp/Smoak split 1B/DH. Which means we need a catcher.
