    Real test will be in 2023. BOR or bullpen, but he could be useful, wouldn’t write him off.
    I hope he's great, but I see nothing at this point.

    Right now, a bit of a struggle.
    That shoulder might be an issue-- or it could bounce back next season.

    Regardless, I suspect he's on the major league roster in some role.

    It’s almost like it’s his 2nd major league start in over a year after coming back from a shoulder injury

    Trying to determine which would be the most painfully boring--- Listening to Barry Larkin in the booth for three hours or listening to Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" on a three hour loop.

    is Jake Fraley kind of good? People are asking.

    This Fraley cat can do a few things.

    I see a lot of hate for Fraley. I don't think he is a star, but I think he will be a solid 4th OF or platoon type. He's been pretty decent throughout his pro career and he isn't an embarrassment on the field or bases.

    In fact, he probably could do what Naquin did as a Red. I wish for better from a starter, but would be happy with that from a 4th OF.
