I think we're gong to see Kivlehan or Deej getting significant MLB AB's next year.  We need two RH bats (still) and we're probably only going to buy one.
The mistake wth Seager was (indeed) not extending him AS SOON AS THE SEASON WAS OVER LAST YEAR.  His downside was as a near All-Star 2B.  Now we will pay a few million more...but we have to get it done.  
And Saunders as a 4th OF was always his best role.  
There is something incredibly weird about Ackley.  There is no "average" Ackley.  He's terrible or really good.  
But he's ours for at least 1.5 seasons.  And, as I always said, his value is in his pop.  He's not a OBP guy.  I like it when he thinks yard on inside stuff.  
All that said, he may have his  best years elsewhere.  
And Zunino is really good.  He hits homers.  He is a very nice receiver.  He plays everyday.  In many ways he's an old-school type catcher.  I said Gary Carter was where he might end up.  Doc guessed Lance Parrish.  That may well be the better guess....but that's pretty good.
