He isn’t going to learn to hit on the bench, and if he learns to hit at all (yes, a very big if) his defense will keep him in the majors for years. Last year should have been his AAA season; no big whoop if he goes to Lehigh for ’13.

Frandsen will do the majority of 3rd base play until Cody Asche is ready. I’m sure they would look at a 1 yr. stop gap like Youkalis though.

Can’t you let up on trolling Phillies fans for even a little while? The offseason’s barely a week old and you come at us with this weak made-up nonsense about Kevin Frandsen, which….
Waitaminute. It’s real? This happened?
Crap.

This is a signal that there is really nothing left to discuss.

John Mayberry Jr. impressed them enough in 104 games in 2011 to be an every day player in 2012, even though we all didn’t think he’d repeat that production.

The Asia Series is on for the next several days.

I’ve started to refer to this feeling of fear of horrible offseason moves as the “Ty Wigginton” effect.
