I'm WAY with you guys on a Halman extended CF trial in half #2.  We've seen Guti at his best.  As such he's a heck of a player.  but the huge question is whether he can ever find that again, or even approach it.  I'm not so sure.  Playing Halman this year gives you a look (at least) at your insurance CF and it may allow a superior talent to develop.  Win, Win, that.
Seager guys, dirt tough, who bang out 30+ doubles, have above average eyes, and have a glove/arm combo that gives you great versatility have long fascinated me.  I'm surprised nobody mentioned the all-time example of that template which would be Pete Rose.  Hey, Seager will be no Rose (I'm assuming he's smart enough to not call his bookie from the dugout) but is of the same template in many ways.  Rose, by the way, played in All-Star games at 4 positions.  I could see Seager as a 3B OR in LF...if we acquire/develop a 3B (Franklin?).  He's a valuable commodity  and his versatility and HIT/EYE combo means he will absolutley play a while in the bigs.  I'm willing to bet we see him this year.  Sept probably.
I still really like Carp.  Always have.  He'll hit for somebody.  Hope it's us.
Mike Wilson continues to whack at Tacoma.  I refuse to cross him off the list based on the limited shot he had this year.
And, as a DH, Limonta seems to be a prospect. Won't tater the ball.....but he hits for average and walks a bunch.  Sept. for him, too, perhaps.
