Frazier plays right field? How is his defense?

"The scouting report on Frazier was no secret to the Yankees when they acquired him from the Cleveland Indians. He’s athletic. His hands are lightning-fast. He’s also … really not good on defense.

After his first stint at the major league level, the word “liability” got thrown around so much, it almost negated anything he could’ve possibly achieved offensively."

He was once more of a CFer coming up... and definitely doesn't have a RF arm.  Of course, that didn't stop them from playing Pollock Sheets Vaughn Eloy etc. from being sent out there, either.

Dude hit some majestic homers in Charlotte. The good news is he isn't a 1B/DH being asked to play OF. 

The bad news is he’s an OF who should be a 1B/DH. They changed his stance in Charlotte and he got crazy hot. I’m guessing they are hoping to catch lightening in a bottle here, and hoping for a hot stretch. Reality probably strikes soon.  Hazeley can’t hit but he contributed defensively.

From Ellis Burks to Client Frazier, the one thing that has been consistent about the never-ending Reinsdorf Tenure is his penchant for finding lightening in a bottle instead of employing outright bonafide difference makers. 

He'll never stop because Ellis Burks was a very good player and he actually won a World Series when he did the Mambo and hit the lightening in a bottle jackpot with journeymen ballplayers having collective career years.

Why haven't  the Sox come remotely close to that since then ?

Because winning championship are  coincidental - not the goal.  The Almighty $ is.

The Bulls are consistently in the top two or three in attendance  playing in the NBA's Sistine Chapel yet haven't sniffed a Finals Apperance in 25 years.

I am looking forward to seeing Frazier in game action today. I think it’s important to remember he is a sub in the OF and not Babe Ruth. Give him a chance 

It's worth a shot to see if this adjustment really did something.  He has had stretches of MLB success offensively. It costs you JM. But Haseley or Billy Hamilton are still around for defense. Probably nothing, but worth a shot. Wish he wad a lefty.

Aaron Hicks will be next...

Feeling better about Colas’ Charlotte stint after reading this about Frazier:

 

Colas also should be a much better fielder than he showed in April, hope he is working on that as well. Would like to see Colas called up and stay successfully once he is ready to succeed playing 6 games a week up here.
