Re: Interesting Reds article on ESPN
Regarding Frazier, I'm not sure why everything has to be measured on whether someone is going to be a star player, or if not they're a bust. Except for the Yankees and Red Sox, most teams that win the World Series aren't fielding an All-Star at every position. Frazier looks like he can provided decent production out of the 3B spot as a replacement for Rolen.
I'd put Left Field and the bench way ahead of Frazier in terms of problems for the Reds.

Re: Interesting Reds article on ESPN
I'm liking Frazier a lot more than I'm liking what is in LF.

Re: Interesting Reds article on ESPN
I'm not sold on Frasier even getting to Aaron Boone's level, but that isn't really a dis. He certainly isn't Boone's equal with the glove. I think he is fine as long as people aren't expecting All-Star numbers.
I agree with others in that left field is a bigger concern going forward.

Re: Interesting Reds article on ESPN
The comments about Dusty are dead on.

Not saying it's impossible, but I doubt it. That said, Frasier has done a good job filling in at 3b. Better than I expected. I will even say that it seems really smart now to have traded Franscisco and kept Frasier. Hoover has been a great find.

Boone was a journeyman by age 32, and never had an ops+ above 113 A nice career with a .751 ops in a hitters era, goals that look remarkably attainable |

Re: Interesting Reds article on ESPN
I was surprised at their Dusty comments. "Shocked" may be a better word.
I agree with Vottomatic; their comments were spot-on. |
