Jim Callis seems pretty high on Frazier...
From today's ESPN prospects chat...
John (Burlington, Ky) Todd Frazier...all star or above average regular? Jim Callis (2:53 PM) Those are kind of the same thing, aren't they. I don't think he'll be a perennial all-star, but my gut says he will be an above-average player with a couple of all-star appearances. Ollie (Chicago) Over under MLB 300 AB's for Todd Frazier in 2010? Jim Callis (2:16 PM) Under, because there's no obvious opening for him. But once the Reds get him in their lineup, he'll be there for a while. Other Reds questions answered... chris h (louisville) a.) Odds Aroldis Chapman claims 5th spot for start of 2010 in Cincy?b.) Odds Aroldis Chapman becomes an effective mlb starter in2010?c.) Odds Aroldis Chapman develops into a # 1 at some point in hid career? Jim Callis (2:26 PM) I'm a little less optimistic about Chapman than most. He has a great arm but needs refinement and didn't even dominate in Cuba's league. I'd be surprised if he made the Opening Day roster, and I don't think he'll make a major impact in 2010. I'll take the under on him developing into a No. 1 starter, too--I think he's more thrower than pitcher. I think it's more likely he becomes a star closer. chris h (louisville) Yonder Alonso for Reid Brignac? Make Sense? Who wins? Jim Callis (2:27 PM) That deal would help both teams in using surplus to shore up a weakness. I think Brignac would mean more to the Reds than Alonso would to the Rays.

Me either. Solid prospect? Yes. Better than Zack Cozart? I have my doubts. No way I trade someone for him before I see how Cozart does at AAA.

Re: Jim Callis seems pretty high on Frazier...
I certainly wouldn't trade Alonso for Brignac straight up, and I do like Brignac. But yeah I am pretty high on Frazier also.
