The Mariners called up prospect Kyle Seager after just 12 games at AAA:

The move also sends a pretty obvious message to starting third baseman Chone Figgins, who is hitting .183 and already sits most of the time behind Adam Kennedy. Seager played six games at third base in Tacoma and five at second, but obviously, Dustin Ackley has that spot locked down. So Seager figures to see most of his time at third base, meaning Figgins will essentially become the team’s third option at the hot corner.

Kyle’s minor league slash line this year came in at .336/.401/.495. I assume that is somewhat inflated by the PCL, but if he can get on at a .350 clip he’ll help the team.
