LS Kyle Seager
-
Hit his 27th home run today. Yeah, pretty mediocre.
-
Seager is currently batting .179 in August. .218 on the year. For reference Derek Jeter won a gold glove and I dont think anyone is calling him a top defender. Also RBIs mean absolutely nothing to a players attribute. With the average he is hitting for he would have to be crushing homers at the Ohtani rate to get to gold.

How many other of the top home run hitters in the league have a silver LS card? Not too many. RBI are overrated? But wins above replacement are not? You guys are funny. How about average with RISP? You can’t win if you can’t score.

I'm not arguing that RISP and RBIs aren't important in baseball, of course they are but in the game there is no attribute that RBIs effects and RISP only accounts for clutch which is not an important attribute. -
All good. The replies confirm my suspicion. The perception that Kyle Seager is a mediocre player is pretty common. Hopefully that’ll continue long enough for Seattle to gain 3 more games on Oakland and Boston.

Seager could be anywhere from a 78-81, but I also think SDS takes BR into account sometimes when they ratings, and for that mode Seager is more valuable as a silver than gold. It’s like Tim Anderson and Xander Bogaerts, both could be between an 83-87 depending on what SDS wants to do.

Good point.
-
29 home runs. 82 rbi. Not bad for mediocre.
-
30 home runs. Matches 2016 career high. 83 rbi. In 2016 Seager was an all-star.
But don’t worry. SD Padre Trent Grisham hitting .252 with 13 homers and 51 rbi is still a gold.

So ba is .218. I get you are saying he is producing HR and RBIs which are nice but you also forget, he is giving up runs in return. If he is getting on base more often he would be producing more runs which also help the team win. He is only sitting on 57 runs, imagine what that number would be if he was batting .280. HR and RBIs are nice but they are not everything. You have to give your team the chance to knock you in as well.

31 home runs. Tied with Jose Ramirez for 8th in the MLB. Still silver.
