I'm getting more and more excited about Kyle Duerr Seager (Yes, his middle name really is Duerr), the Mariners have played him mostly at 2nd Base, with about equal time at 3rd and Short, but if I remember correctly, he played 3rd in college.  Playing SS and 2B makes me assume he's pretty good at the hot corner, and I would guess the middle infield time is preparing him for life as utility guy based on his lack of power, but he's been able to show a bit in the second half, and though it is the Cal League he's playing in, he's got good patience and speed, and the BABiP at .400 isn't even that big a red flag, as he's had only one season with a BABiP below .341 since he started college (his first pro season his BABiP was a meager .296).  I think right now, most scouts would look at his ceiling as a Todd Walker / Craig Counsell type, but who knows, if his power develops to 15+ HR a year type, he could be a viable option to start at 3rd.  I think he's a good bet to speed through the minors system and maybe get a September call up as soon as next year.
