Am extremely high on him in that case.
The other thing about this skillset is that they tend to have very brief transitions to the MLB. Seager could by Kyle Seager from Day One. Adding a slight bit of power when he hits his prime.
If Seager sticks at 3B, your infield is solved. After that you need to figure out all 3 OF spots.. With Gut looking like a shell of his former self and Ichiro declining, you'll need two starting caliber players in 2012 and three in 2013.
We're 2-3 OFs, maybe a C, a DH, and some bullpenners away from building a truly dominant core. Hopefully we can fill some of those spots in trade (which is why Bedard is such an important trade piece IMO).
You can fill a couple of those spots with FAs. REALLY think Fielder is a great fit here. Hes having a great season though and with Boras as his agent, so you have to wonder what his price will be.
