Todd Frazier is one of those guys you can't help but root for. I'm from New Jersey, and my relatives are from around Toms River, where Frazier made a name for himself as a Little League World Series winner. I loved him in Cincinnati, in Chicago, in...yeah, in New York, and now he's wound up in a very interesting Texas Rangers team.
The rotation, of Kluber-Lynn-Minor-Gibson-Lyles...holy crap I wanna see how that gets through 12 cycles. Even if, god forbid, one of them disappoints, the stuff from the other 4 would still be insane. That might be the single best rotation in the AL West [A's come close], and I'm just really excited to see that in action.
Frazier fits into a slightly-less ironclad lineup, but having Joey Gallo, Elvis Andrus, Shin-Soo Choo, Rougned Odor and Danny Santana together and consistent will certainly help. I do worry that after Frazier's less-showy seasons with the Mets, his days of hitting 30 home runs and chasing power might be ending soon, but having him in there with a younger squad certainly helps.
It is gonna be interesting to see how the AL West goes with 4 of the teams trying to complete with bulkier lineups. I kinda wan the Rangers to speed ahead, but I know how tricky the other 3 can be.
Coming Tomorrow- Veteran SF pitcher back to his old tricks.
