The question isn't whether it was real - the question for me is whether we can get somebody to bite on his trade value as if it WERE real and get someone we can use out of him before he gets to AA.
I like Seager, but he's not displacing Ackley unless Dustin absolutely cannot hold down second base.
Even if his AA power was real, he's not a 3B.
He can't stick at SS.
So what are we gonna do with him? Seager, Poythress and Chavez are all on my tradables list. We acted perfectly by putting 3 good bats with questions (and potential roadblocks already on our roster) in the desert and letting them pump their numbers to the moon.
I like Seager fine as a bench infield backup. He looks like a perfectly competent 2B to me - just not a plus one. We could keep him for that duty.
But an adequate 2B is worth something. Left-handed David Bell would and should be worth something.
It's just not worth as much to us at the moment.
