2 Things on Seager:

1.) He's been bad this year at SS, but all the metrics and eye test said he was still good last year. If he moved off the protect health, it would make sense, but until right now it shouldn't be for performance.
2.) He probably has far less trade value right now than most of us want to think. That can change if he gets back to hitting like he should, but with the labor situation looming, he's going to be a hard contract to move.

Needs to be. Borderline unplayable at the plate currently.

Unlikely since he's in the starting lineup tonight (assuming moves need to be made today).

Yep won't be Carter. I forgot about Helman so it's probably him and Haggerty

It's one position player and two pitchers.

Haggerty likely gets the axe.

I have no idea with the pitchers, but I'd pay $20 for one of them to be Chris Martin,

deGrom was great and so was the bullpen. Great win.

I just don't understand why he wouldn't be interested in a change in roles like that. Obviously his best asset is his bat. And when he's fielding at his best, you're getting slightly above average fielding at best. If I'm Seager and get asked if all I want to do is hit and get paid the same money, I'm telling the team hell yeah. Especially if it helps keep me from getting hurt so much.


If he's interested in stuff like making the HoF he would want to stick at SS as long as possible. The bar is infinitely higher for a 1B and there's no way he'd clear it. As a SS he's got a good shot at it if he can stay healthy and put up 3-4 more years like what he has done in Texas so far.

For comparison, Seager put up 6.2 WAR last year hitting .271/.373/.487 with 21 HRs and 50 RBIs in just over 100 games.

Pete Alonso hit .272/.347/.524 with 38 HRs and 126 RBIs and put up 3.3 WAR playing all 162.

Seager would be JAG at 1st, but as a SS he has a chance to accumulate some big WAR numbers due to the lucrative positional adjustment and the fact that his defense there has helped him accumulate dWAR while even GG 1B usually get negative dWAR totals. In fact, in the example above with Alonso and Seager, the oWAR is actually pretty similar, but the overall is wildly different because of the dWAR credit given to Seager.

Yeah, I really think he's already done enough. Only other two time World Series MVP was Mr. October?

I don't think a move to 1B hurts his HoF chances at all.

That being said, I think you guys are shuttling him off to 1B a bit too quickly. He is 7th in the AL in fielding % this season at 0.980.

I think we mostly want to move him to (1) keep him healthy and (2) get Walcott here. Walcott isn't coming for a while, and we apparently need Zeke at 2B, so we really kinda need Seager at SS for now.

consistency is way undervalued.

I wonder how long they're going to keep trotting Carter out there. I have to think when Langford comes of the IL, they'll send him down, won't they?

Is Pederson the best leadoff hitter we have had in years?

Allright boys and girls.

Aggies are out. Still have some great Supers and Omaha coming up, but time to dial in to Rangers baseball.

Looks like a good time to do it. Playing better baseball and my favorite MLB pitcher is going in the 6th.

Let's go!
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.

Hard not to root for a guy who had as bad of a year as he did last year, and then wreck house
