From what I've seen of Sieloff I think he has a higher upside than Sarich. Hopefully the injury won't derail his career.
No comparison is ever going to be dead on. Most comparisons are at best 90% correct, and the comparison between the two is in that ballpark. Their differences are exactly what you listed.

If Sieloff can become that type of steady shut down 4-6th type that Sarich was on Tampa and with us, then I'll be pleased.

That would be a very useful piece once we're on the upswing.
