Ditto!  Schmidt is a great age/arc comparison.......at this point.  I didn't mention Schmidt because he's the greatest 3B ever and tossing his name out was likely to ruin my point.
I personally think Pags and Presley are nice comps.  I wasn't so interested in body size matches, but in likely Liddi growth.
I want to see lots of a Liddi/Seager left side of the IF in the next few days and in ST.  I am quite intrigued by that.  I suppose Franklin could have something to say about that in ST and I love Ryan's glove but I'm interested in the experiment.
I remember that  Bill Russell became the Dodgers' full-time SS in '72 then Cey and Lopes came aboard a year later.  Add Garvey, who became a starter at 3B in '72 then got bumped to first when Cey came up and you had a terrific infield for nearlly a decade.
I see some of that happening here, perhaps.  BTW, more and more,  I see Russell as the lowside template of Seager at SS.  Russell was an adequate glove, mediocre might be the word, and a 90-ish OPS+ stick (which was pretty good for SS's in the 70's).
Seager may be that adequate SS glove with a pretty good SS stick.  The key, of course, is his being the adequate glove.  Nothing has shown me yet that he isn't.  I'll keep watching, though.
