I don't think the comparison to Bloomquist is fair to him. Seager has gotten good reviews at third and second base if I'm not mistaken, where Bloomquist has never better than poor anywhere but second, where he's logged less than 750 innings in his major league career. Bloomquist has never sniffed double digit home runs in the majors or minors. He did have that one season, conveniently at the exact same age as Seager, at the exact same level, in park almost as bad as Adelanto's, where his batting line was very similar to Seager's. But in that season, there were a couple significant differences; as I noted before, Bloomquist hit 2 homeruns over nearly 300 plate appearances, and secondly, while Seager had an almost certainly lucky .388 BABiP, Bloomquist had a far luckier .415 BABiP that year. And if he can be Willie Bloomquist with better power, better patience, more strikeouts and less speed, and maybe a little better defense, that's still pretty good.
