So far the only guys they have traded were the two that led the charge against management in the LaRoche debacle. I was mentioning the 200m in reference to the top end cost that teams like the Cubs will spend. And unlike Cabrera — who’s owed $15MM in the final year of his deal — Frazier is still projects to be useful in the field. Let’s take a look at some hypothetical suitors (listed in alphabetical order): Athletics — Sure, Oakland has Ryon Healy at third, and he’s more than entitled to a full-season run after his impressive debut.

Joey Bats, Trumbo, Carter, Alverez, Moss, Napoili are all free agents.

Neither needs a third baseman or DH, and while they could stand to add Frazier’s pop at first, the presences of Dan Vogelbach and Justin Smoak reduce the utility of adding a fairly expensive piece like Frazier. Don’t see a suitor ponying anything up worth Rick Hahn’s attention this offseason, given the market saturated with players quite similar to Frazier. Tabbed to make his first career pitching appearance in the ninth inning of a 15-2 blowout loss to the Braves. He is coveted, but the Cards aren’t moving him. The Dodgers were rumored to have interest, but ended up bringing back top-available free agent Justin Turner. UZR has him at 6.9, which means essentially the same thing only with decimals. His offense isn’t overwhelming, but the Cards insist their catchers catch first and hit later, a la Molina. If the Nats get that they get a sneaky mvp stat wise player just like Gordon was. Tabbed to make his first career pitching appearance in the ninth inning of a 15-2 blowout loss to the Braves at Citi Field, Frazier delivered a perfect ninth inning, including a strikeout looking against his former Reds teammate Adam Duvall. So I wonder if that would preclude the Giants from consideration, that and their weak farm system would make a trade match challenging. If that. Basically every naysayer has thought differently when I mentioned having Freeman, Kemp and Frazier in the middle of the lineup. But several organizations that might not give prospects and take on $13.5MM or so in salary right now may well end up having a need in the middle of the season. The Marlins need a righty bat, but re-upped Martin Prado to play third and seem to like Justin Bour as at least a semi-regular at first; without a DH slot, there likely isn’t any kind of match there. (Health isn’t pure luck, of course; it also involves properly evaluating/valuing that into the equation in player acquisitions, providing good training and health evaluation practices, etc, as well as having good depth on hand.). He’s hit it only twice. Answer: He’s not that valuable, and he costs a lot. Others — You could argue for the Pirates, especially if Jung Ho Kang is lost, though perhaps corresponding moves would be needed to make it even plausible that the Bucs would take on that much salary (particularly with David Freese and Josh Bell already on hand).

I could see it making sense for the Giants…as a Dodgers fan I’d hate to see them get stronger but it does make sense, I think that it would of made a lot of sense for the Dodgers to go after him and Robertson had they not signed JT…I’m not upset that we resigned him since the contract wasn’t unreasonable and shouldn’t become a huge problem down the line but it would’ve made a ton of sense for the Dodgers to make that move, With that being said, I see no reason why the Sox shouldn’t trade him and Robertson and go for broke on their rebuild…they’ve already done a nice job at restocking their young controllable talent, they might as well see it all the way through. Holding onto him is hardly an unfathomable outcome if there’s truly no serious interest, particularly since there doesn’t appear to be a major salary-trimming imperative behind the team’s sell-off. Indeed, many of the teams discussed below seem rather unlikely to offer enough of a return to force the White Sox’ hand. Actually, most people that look at the actual valuations of the assets in that deal think it’s within range of a fair swap. Maybe there’s an intriguing arm or 2 that Coop thinks he can do something with. Still, there’s probably a reason that it has mostly been crickets on the demand side for Frazier. He should be so much better but his declining OBP raises some major concerns. And he could also allow a new acquiring team to recoup a draft pick after the season, if he proves himself worthy of a qualifying offer. Positions: Third Baseman and First Baseman Bats: Right • Throws: Right 6-3, 220lb (190cm, 99kg) Team: New York Mets (majors) Born: February 12, 1986 in Point Pleasant, NJ us The braves just aren’t one of them.

It was successful in the sense he hit a bunch of dingers, but that average, and in turn a terrible OBP is indicative of his new approach at the plate. I don’t understand the term “positive regression” in the article. Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. Frazier, who has played every defensive position other than center field and catcher during his 10-year big league career, threw “fastballs” and knuckleballs during his inning, firing them as slow as 51 mph and as fast as 68. Atlanta’s far away from being a real contender. He’ll need to prove it for more than 1 year first before I just hand him that title though. They could have got cueto and murphy for less money.
