No problemo going with the Segui comp ... especially since between age 28 and 34 Segui's OPS+ was ... 120.  :-)
Honestly - they're so darn close to the same hitter, it hardly matters.  But, Segui is a better comp, because it took him 5 partial seasons to work out the kinks ... at which point he played the next 7 seasons at almost the identical level that Grace did.
Of course, Grace is a natural selection for me - since I watched him play on WGN, (being an NL guy), so I was used to seeing great ABs - no Ks - who lashed out a single almost every game - and would lash out doubles instead, when he was in a groove.  But, Segui is probably just a hair stronger comp, (IMO).
I do believe - at age 27 - we have not yet seen the best of Kotchman.  And part of the reason why?  He happens to be teammates now with two of the best left-handed hitters of the last century.  It's not like Anahaim or Atlanta was exactly friendly to left-handed batters.
