Todd Frazier appreciation thread
I just thought I would make this because ever since he came up last year he's been absolutely fantastic for this team. I know his numbers right now are not sustainable, but he is just a nice story for this team because he's such a hard-working likeable player that cares more about the crest on his jersey than the name on his back (or so it seems).
Also, he can absolutely crush baseballs. :lol:

Not to brag (mainly to brag), I did not predict regression from Todd this season. You're all free to ask Todd's forgiveness and join me.

That homerun last night to the upper deck was CRUSHED. I couldn't believe that when I saw it.

Frazier is a joy to watch. The man just loves to play baseball.

Me either. I recognized the possibility, but he just seems like the hard-working type that makes it work.

Absolutely.

I will repost this tweet in this thread :

Spoke to some Angels today who were really impressed by the Reds' Todd Frazier; he's 11-for-22 so far this season.
Re: Todd Frazier appreciation thread
Anyone want to be brave and venture a guess at what his season could look like?
Going all Nostradamus here:
HR: 31
Runs: 75
RBI: 87
SB: 9
AVG: .286
OBP: .372
SLG: .521
WAR: 5.6
Re: Todd Frazier appreciation thread
I still think he is going to be ~ .260/.325/.475ish

Yeah, one week shouldn't skew our expectations too much.
Re: Todd Frazier appreciation thread
I have two fantasy teams this year. Frazier is on both. I had faith.

I agree and don't think that's so bad from a second year player. I like him a lot. He can mash the ball when he's hot. My hope is he doesn't cool off ever, but I think Doug is right.

Those would've been my numbers for him this year before it started. And I think that is still a pretty good 3rd baseman.
But, he's been so white hot that even if he hits that way the rest of the year his overall numbers will be a little higher.
Considering he has good power, is playing in GABP, and it hasn't heated up yet, I think he might have more power than I thought, so I would alter it a little.
.265/.335/.490
Re: Todd Frazier appreciation thread
He's hot and he hasn't even started throwing his bat at the ball yet.
