Corey Seager's value

[NorthKorea]

So, by now, everyone who follows baseball has heard about Kyle Seager's 7-year $100mm contract with the Mariners. That contract now on the books, I've been wondering, what is his younger brother, Corey, worth?

For those who have never heard of the younger Seager, he has always been known as the more talented Seager. Corey plays SS, but, at 6'4", he'll likely hit the majors around 230 lbs... or 3B size.

In 2014, as a 20-yr-old, he had a .352/.411/.633 slash line in the high-A California League. Known for inflating offensive numbers, maybe those numbers aren't impressive to you. That said, he finished the season in the AA Southern League. All he did was post a .345/.381/.534 slash line. Defensively, he posted a .957 fielding %age and 4.38 range factor.

Those numbers should place him as the 18th or so prospect going into 2015. He's under control of the Dodgers, so expect his offensive numbers to drop significantly once he reaches the big club, but .280/.340/.480 as a rookie would look exceptional!

you can NEVER compare brother to brother, father to son, etc. etc.

Kyle could be the next best thing.. and Corey could be a complete bust once he hits the majors... or vice versa... but it would be interesting to see brother and brother finish one-two in the majors with HRs, Batting, etc.

Randy, it works in football, so why not in baseball?

 

[ranbethscards]

I think you will find that more often than not...in football it doesn't work either. Yes, Peyton and Eli Manning panned out quite well. But, did you know that Walter Payton's brother played in the NFL...so did Terry Bradshaw's. Neither were overly successful. More often than not, a successful family member doesn't mean another one will be.

Heck, a few weeks ago while playing for Tulane...Joe Montana's son spiked the ball on fourth down. lol.
