I've been out of the country for several weeks, so the the first thing I did upon my return, naturally, was to look at all the Ackley at-bats I had missed. You know what? If they flopped him and Seager position-wise everybody would be talking about George Brett comps. I ain't kidding. Go look at the video.
I watched Brett in AAA for the year-and-a-half he spent there and it was obvious the guy could kill at the plate, but it was all singles and doubles and he slugged under .400. Couldn't field a lick. Same body, too, as a youngster. 
Does anybody doubt Kyle Seager will overwhelm Frank White's numbers? It doesn't matter which of them is at second and which at third. 
I'm with Doc on the fun-o-meter. If rooting for a team isn't fun, what's the point? This could be fun. Lots of it.
