CC - Do you prefer Shenton and Seymour to Aranda, or are you just spitballing?

Honestly I favor Shenton, I think he ends up the better player but I know he's about to get Meaded out of here which is crazy to me, I'm not completely sold on Aranda's breakout but I don't think Shenton or Seymour would bring back that package, I don't know anything about Seymour other than he hits homeruns in bunches and strikes out a lot, from what little I've read on him I get a AAAA/Alex Jackson vibe, I think Lile is overshadowed and overlooked but maybe a good LF stop gap for a couple of years, Bazzell is a catcher with an above average hit tool that can also play the corners, and Ribalta is a TB dream, big guys like that always take time to develop, make some adjustments, teach him how/when to pitch up in the zone and with that stuff he could be scary good.
I like Shenton too, though I’m not down on Aranda. The Rays have 3 LHB options at 1B (4 if you count B.Lowe), and I think that is 1-2 too many, but … since I expect the Rays to trade both Lowe and Diaz, I could see the Rays keep all three of Aranda, Shenton and Seymour. At least 1 of them will likely bust.
