    Yep

    Even if Joc had given us nothing with the bat, his defense saved a few games for us.

    Yup. Been a saving grace in CF this season. His way into the show with the commitment from the nerds in making our defense better up the middle. Always priority #1. They were well into the negatives in defense last year and are now a + defensive team.

    Zaidi writes off concerns about Seager
    by Daniel Starkand | Dodgers Nation — 2 hours ago

    When the Los Angeles Dodgers called up prospect Corey Seager at the beginning of September, they were in need of a shortstop as Jimmy Rollins had suffered a right index finger injury.

    Thrusting Seager into a starting role presumably wasn’t what the Dodgers first envisioned, as that appeared to be allowing the young shortstop to simply get his feet over the final month of the regular season. Then, have Seager compete for the job in 2016.

    It was the blueprint used on bringing Joc Pederson along. Now one month into Seager’s Major-League career, the shortstop has far and away exceeded expectations. While Seager has not been named the starting shortstop for the National League Division Series, general manager Farhan Zaidi said that his lack of experience will not decide whether he or Rollins starts.

    “At the end of the day we’re going to go with the guy at every spot on the roster and in the lineup, the collective group that gives us the best chance to win,” Zaidi said. “And that’s ability, past performance and experience, a lot of stuff goes into that.” Zaidi also marveled at the composure Seager has exuded in high-pressure situations thus far.

    “Everybody has been really pleased with not just his performance, but how he’s handled himself. I think he’s gotten the respect from a lot of guys in the clubhouse,” Zaidi said. “He’s been in big situations. The series in San Francisco came close to a playoff atmosphere with what was at stake, and he handled himself really well. So, we don’t have any concerns with him.”

    In split time between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, Seager batted .293/.344/.487 with 18 home runs and 76 RBIs. He then continued that after being called up, batting .337/.425/.561 with four home runs and 17 RBIs in 27 games with the Dodgers.

    Grandal surprised by level of Seager’s early success
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 2 hours ago

    While the Los Angeles Dodgers intended to promote Corey Seager to the Majors last September, their decision was accelerated a bit due to Jimmy Rollins’ injury. Seager arrived with high expectations and somehow managed to exceed them.

    Appearing in 27 games, the then-21-year-old hit .337/.425/.561 with eight doubles, one triple, four home runs and 17 RBIs. Seager usurped Rollins as the Dodgers’ starting shortstop in the process.

    Seager became the youngest position player to start a postseason game in franchise history when he was in the lineup against the New York Mets for Game 1 of the 2015 National League Division.

    The promising shortstop entered this season rated baseball’s top prospect and a heavy favorite to win NL Rookie of the Year.

    Again, Seager has outplayed the lofty expectations. According ESPN’s Doug Padilla, Yasmani Grandal is somewhat surprised by how well Seager has fared to this point:

    “I didn’t think he was going to be as good as he is right now in his first year, but I knew he had the talent to do it,” catcher Yasmani Grandal said. “He kind of blew my mind when I was down in Triple-A for that rehab assignment [last season]. He was spraying balls, sitting on pitches. He’s very smart and knows what he wants to do. He’s been able to stay there the whole year, and it just seems like he’s getting better. And it’s scary to say that.”

    Not only was Seager selected to the 2016 All-Star Game, he also participated in the Home Run Derby. He enters play on Friday batting .306/.361/.529 with 30 doubles, 19 home runs and 51 RBIs.

    Seager’s 19 homers are tied with Hanley Ramirez for most by a Los Angeles shortstop in a single season. Along with being in the thick of the conversation for Rookie of the Year, Seager has played his way into the discussion for the MVP Award.

    He leads the Dodgers in total hits (128), batting average, slugging percentage, on-base plus slugging (.890), triples (three), doubles and wRC+ (129). Seager and Justin Turner are tied for the team lead in home runs.

    Sweet. No jerking it with that wrist for a couple of days Corey and it will be fine. If you do feel the urge, get Hill and his girly hands to do it for you. Has the woman's touch.
