Esp for somebody who has been consistently healthy thru most of his career. Schoop, Trey, and AJ may be free swinging a bit but at least they have pretty decent OBP records while complimenting that play w/ power numbers. That's also when Crush is at his best, getting on base (via the HR or the BB because of his HR threat) despite racking up near record K totals. <br /><br />Worth noting that Frazier's K/PA rate is in the low 20s, which is not bad. AJ's in the high teens, Schoop's in the low 20s, and Trey for the past two seasons is like 26% and 23%, respectively. IMO, Beckham is not worth his 30% K/PA rate record. Wasteful ABs does not an effective leadoff hitter make. In comparison, Trumbo is consistently in the mid20s and Crush is in the low 30s(tho he was at 37% in '17 - yikes!).

I also think his youth compared with Frazier will increase the total money handed to him. Eduardo Nunez is another option who does not strike out much in comparison, but also has some defensive concerns.Jon Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521809778977098687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-46251928697980522942017-12-18T10:11:31.253-05:002017-12-18T10:11:31.253-05:00I agree that his defense is solid,takes walks, and...I agree that his defense is solid,takes walks, and there may not be a better guy in baseball. <br /><br />However, do we really want to add another swing n' miss guy into this lineup of hacks?
