Some would say his profile is more Brian Roberts as a doubles guy who can take a walk. I think he's at least a step back from that, and you apparently do too, because Veras is Vina.
Vina: .280/.350/.380/.730 in 4200 ABs
Veras: .270/.370/.360/.730 in 2800 ABs
Luis Castillo: .290/.370/.350/.720 in 6500 ABs
I'm with you then, Matt. That exactly the class of hitter I think Seager can reasonably make it to.
Veras was bookable? Veras was on base as much as ICHIRO and had about the same power over 6+ seasons. I don't think that's getting figured out. If you gave me 7 years of a .370+ OBP from second base I'd consider that a heck of a deal for a 3rd round pick and a several years of minimum wage.
I HOPE he's Quilvio Veras / Luis Castillo. That's just fine with me. I don't know where we'd use it since our other .370+ OBP 2B, Ackley, is gonna be blocking him, but we can come up with something.
