Fangraphs: Every Prospect With Kyle Seager's Same Profile

National evaluators have a [hard] time pegging him because he doesn't fit a neat profile. His best tool is his bat. He has a patient approach but doesn't project to hit for much home run power because of his modest bat speed and flat swing plane? He's an average defender at third, if not a tick above. His detractors see him as a safe pick with low upside and a future reserve or utility player.

On the one hand, it's clear that Seager isn't precisely this sort of player. As Cameron notes, for example, he's averaged 19 home runs per 600 plate appearances over the last three seasons ? an above-average figure, that. And as the record indicates, he's produced nearly 13 wins over those same three seasons, 23rd among all major leaguers by that measure.

I don't see him signing that deal.

I don't see him signing that deal.

I think they offered it to him. And then he got angry that he was renewed.

I think they offered it to him. And then he got angry that he was renewed.

I remember how much work it was to get him signed in the first place.

If Manny's knees hold up, he will have a beak out year at 22. He would cost a lot more than Seager

Donaldson equals Steve Pearce.

You might be right, but at this point it's a big IF.
