Spec, I almost posted today a question about exactly the lineup you just laid out....in exactly the same batting order. No kidding.
More and more, that looks like a pretty likely proposition.
After his 3rd torrid game in a row, today, I think it is an absolute lock that Seager opens the '12 season in Seattle.
I actually wondered today (to myself) if Z and Wedge would be brazen enough to start Seager at SS in '11? A hit first/field 2nd type in the (obviously with less bat) Jeter mold.
I'm willing to bet that we see Seager at SS again in the next couple of days, maybe a couple of times. Ryan's dinged up shoulder certainly needs a day off, doesn't it? Seager's '12 role might depend on if the M's see Franklin as THE SS in '13 or is he a 3B?
Are the M's brazen enough to just eat Figgins' salary and waive him? Don't know.
But a Seager/Ryan/Ackley infield needs a backup glove or two. Does Figgins take that role willingly? Resign Kennedy? I could live with Jack Wilson back again, but you would still need a 3B type of guy.
Seager? He can look for his '12 Seattle digs.
