Addressing your points:
....
1.  Dr. D is definitely not writing off the UP scenario for Seager.  I'd give him a good look, and if he's a plus hitter, would consider him at 3B.
1a.  He takes a pretty good rip at the ball.  He's not a Chone Figgins by any stretch.
....
2.  The "concern," from the Mariners first and foremost, is that Seager will hit 30+ doubles and 8 homers, full season, and that
3.  This will lead to the type of hitter mentioned in the article.  A guy slugging .425, not enough for 3B -- a 100 OPS+ that could easily slide to 80 or lower in an off year.

If Seager turns out to have plus gap power -- if he hits the .310/.380/.460 that he hit at Jackson -- then he can play for my ballclub any time.
Right now that looks dubious to me, but if as you say, he can lead the majors in doubles, then of course he's gonna make a lot of money ...
