Not according to me, according to The Official Site of the Seattle Mariners. Seager is the starter, which Baker and others had already covered.
AK is now the first-team DH and backup at third, second and first.
The outfield is still crying out for help, but they don't appear inclined to put Kennedy out there.
[I like the depth-chart feature on the Official Site because it tends to be "where the rubber hits the road" between the "public relations" side of the org and reality. They had moved AK to first-team at third over Figgy a week or so ago. In short, Figgy, Cust and Wilson are now officially non-factors from a team PR standpoint, which is usually a pretty good sign they are about to go bye-bye.]

And, mal, I would say Bill Mueller with a dose of speed would be an excellent comp. Seager has 9 SB this season; Mueller never had more than 4.
But the 30-doubles, 10-HR, .290/.370/.425 part looks reachable for Seager, and would be awesome.
