If Seabol reaches the major leagues, he'll be the lowest-drafted player ever to do so. Seabol went in the 88th round of the 1996 draft, the 1,719th of 1,740 players selected. The Yankees didn't hand him an everyday job in the minors until 1999, his third season in the South Atlantic League. He responded with a 35-game hitting streak and a minor league-best 55 doubles. Showing that was no fluke, he jumped to Double-A in 2000 and led the Eastern League in doubles with a career-high 20 homers. Seabol made himself a hitter by working hard and adding strength, though he still could tighten his strike zone. Defensively, he offers solid hands and agility, and his arm is good enough to play third base. He's capable of playing well at first base or adequately in left field, and he made a couple of appearances at second base in 2000. Seabol has passed Donny Leon on the organization's depth chart, which means he'll be the Triple-A starter this season. When they tire of Scott Brosisus, the Yankees are more likely to convert one of their shortstops to third base rather than hand their starting job at the hot corner to Seabol, but he could be a versatile big league reserve.
