Frazier isn't the .324 hitter he was in 98 games with Pitt. He was merely hitting well. Anyone who tries to argue he's anything more than an average player is wrong.
agree - he rarely barrels the ball up and hardly ever hits it hard ANYWHERE ( ground ball - flyout ) He hits the most can of corn fly balls and weak ground outs of any Mariner. Plus side is he does not strike out a ton.
I don’t think it your 100% correct. I think Servais is doing the same thing he did last year but guys aren’t coming through every time like last year. 2021 Servais is, what was it 2016 Lloyd McClendon but he was fired the next year when his randomly putting bullpen arms in and randomly pinch hitting guys didn’t work. 2021 Servais could have won manager of the year but they also should have been a sub .500 team based on every analytical metric (and I hate baseball analytics)
That is on the Mariners though with changing his stance for analytical reasons last year. His new stance is great for framing pitches but is garbage against throwing runners out…which analytics folks don’t put into their equation. He’s got the arm to throw people out, he just needs to stance to do it and this isn’t it. When you are in AAA it’s like when the bosses away the children play
He definitely has over produced. Take away April and he is an all star of at least on the verge? If Manfred finally shows he has baseball in mind he would put him in the homer in derby. They need personalities but MLB has their eyes on everything but growing their sport.
Totally agree. Julio is perfect for that weekend. He is the most energetic player I have seen. He doesn't act like he wants to be there, he genuinely wants to be there in baseball. Manfred will screw it up somehow.
