BA: Pioneer League Top 20 (3 REDS)
http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...es/264919.html
1. Todd Frazier- showed polished approach, good instincts, has to move to 3rd or corner outfield 5. Brandon Waring- plus power, bat speed, may have to switch to LF or 1B 16. Justin Reed- raw, good range, slightly below average arm |

Frazschuh!
Bodes well. Waring at 5 is very solid, too. Some promising RH power bats (these two and Soto) added to the system -- much needed!

Re: BA: Pioneer League Top 20 (3 REDS)
I really think Frazier could fly through the minors. He fundamentally gets it at the plate.

Re: BA: Pioneer League Top 20 (3 REDS)
There's been a lot of discussion who is the Reds top prospect after the "big four." I previously voted for Roenicke, although Stubbs, Wood, Francisco, Maloney, all got some mention.
All things considered, at this point, I think it is pretty clear that Todd Frazier is the fifth best Reds prospect after Bruce, Bailey, Cueto, and Votto (in whatever order). And Waring gets consideration for the top ten. Last edited by Kc61; 09-25-2007 at 08:27 PM. |

Re: BA: Pioneer League Top 20 (3 REDS)
What do you guys think the power potential is for Frazier. He's been about as solid a hitter as they come so far in his career, and he's a big guy. Is 25 homers a reasonable expectation?

Re: BA: Pioneer League Top 20 (3 REDS)
I would say 25 HR is reasonable for him.

As I see it, Frazier is a desire/determination guy, not a tools or good fundamentals player. You can't argue with his success so far. |
