it amazes me that people keep wanting Frazier.
Maybe his wife is hot
Man did you see that one homerun derby?!???!
Yeah, who wants a guy hitting .343/.425/.514 against lefties this year as the right side of a platoon option at DH.
Makes no sense.
Well said guys who name I can’t use because of the PC police
Democrats liberals. Not trying to make any sort of statement. Just seeing if this site is neutral or has an agenda
Agenda it is.
Republicans
Obama
What difference does Frazier’s platoon splits in a tiny sample of one year tell us? Nothing. It’s 4o plate appearances and he will surely regress. Players don’t change their ability to hit lefties from year to year. You want an indication of what he’s likely to do moving forward, look at his career splits. They’re no so impressive. I don’t think completely altering a view of a player based on 40 PAs is wise.
Packy Nuaghton is a LEGENDARY sports name
Leaving this site. Not a political person but this is pathetic. Come here to talk baseball, not politics. Block one president and his slogan but not other presidents. I am not a fan but this kinda stuff doesn’t belong on a sports website. Just replying to a guys user name.
You’ll be missed. Man did you make a point and contribute so much. Did I mention you’re a complete tool? Best wishes.
Take care Karen!
Sad
Well… Bye.
Great movie bro
Astros – F – Like Twins, really coulf have used healthy pitching.
Angels – D – Relatively underwhelming returns for solid players.
A’s – A – Bolstered weaknesses with solid talent for cheap.
Mariners – A/B – Sold off solid talent for strong returns. Walker return may push this to an A.
Rangers – F – Didn’t sell of premium assets and got very little for the ones they did sell.
Heard Dipoto say the return for Walker was going to be impressive. Not sure how all the other PTBNL can leak but not this one
DarkSide830, no one was going to give up much for a catcher who is a pending FA who is hitting under 200. La Stella, is a nice at, but that’s it. Not many teams looking for DH type hitters. La Stella makes a lot of mental errors on the base paths. They got a player back, who next spring training can battle with Louise Rengifo for the starter at second. Don’t know who the other player will be, getting for Goodwin. I would say a C-, because they should have traded Simmons. Rather than him walk for nothing.
