Newsbreakers
July 21, 2009
Giants' beat writer Andrew Baggarly is reporting on his Twitter page that the Giants have optioned Kevin Frandsen to Triple-A Fresno. In a corresponding move, the team recalled Matt Downs from Triple-A.
Our View:
Frandsen should be used to the trip from San Fran to Fresno by now, as he has been back-and-forth several times this season. He was only hitting .128 with the Giants this season, so he did nothing to help his own cause to stay with the team.
July 6, 2009
The Giants called Kevin Frandsen up from the minors on Monday, according to the Miami Herald.
Our View:
Frandsen takes the DL-bound Randy Johnson's spot on San Francisco's roster. He should see spot time in the Giants' infield, but with little power or speed, should not receive any attention from fantasy owners.
June 13, 2009
The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Kevin Frandsen has been sent back to Triple-A Fresno after the team activated Travis Ishikawa off the bereavement list.
Our View:
Frandsen knew it was going to be a short stay with the team, and that turned out to be the case. He holds no fantasy value, and will continue to have none if and when he gets called back up.
June 9, 2009
Kevin Frandsen has been recalled by the Giants from Triple-A Fresno, according to TSN.
Our View:
He will provide depth in the infield with Travis Ishikawa on the bereavement list. Frandsen was hitless over 16 at-bats this season, and does not garner fantasy attention for his likely brief stint with the club.
May 30, 2009
Kevin Frandsen has been optioned to Triple-A Fresno by the Giants, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Reliever Sergio Romo was activated from the DL as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Frandsen was hitless over 16 at-bats with the Giants prior to being demoted. He will not be missed in fantasy leagues while working on his hitting in the minors.
May 16, 2009
Kevin Frandsen has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Juan Uribe, who was placed on the bereavement list, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Frandsen hit .291 with three homers and 17 RBI in Triple-A this season.
Our View:
Frandsen failed to win the starting second base job out of spring training, but he is getting a chance to contribute with Uribe out. No fantasy value here, but good luck to Frandsen.
March 31, 2009
Kevin Frandsen was optioned to Triple-A Fresno by the Giants, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
He was unable to beat Emmanuel Burriss for the starting role at second base, and no longer merits fantasy attention.
February 27, 2009
Kevin Frandsen hit a solo home run in his only at bat on Friday as the Royals beat the Giants 6-1.
Our View:
Frandsen is competing for the starting second baseman's job with a number of players in San Francisco. He is a good contact hitter, but has traditionally lacked power and above-average speed.
February 20, 2009
The Giants' fans want Kevin Frandsen to be the opening day second baseman as he is a local kid, according to the SF Chronicle. He said, "I think everyone knows when I am healthy and able to do my thing and have an opportunity, I think I let that speak for itself. You are a year older and all of that, but the way I look at it is, it's a big opportunity to hopefully cement myself into the San Francisco Giants, being a name in the lineup all the time."
Our View:
The source lists his odds to start at 3-1, and he would have started in 2008 if not for a torn Achilles' tendon. He would offer little speed or power, but could hit for a solid average, and would be worth a look for NL-only leagues if he wins the No. 1 role at second out of spring training. He will be competing with Emmanuel Burriss, Eugenio Velez and potentially veteran Juan Uribe.
February 9, 2009
The starting gig at second base is wide open in San Francisco with Kevin Frandsen, Eugenio Velez and Emmanuel Burriss competing, according to the SF Chronicle. Veteran Juan Uribe will be in the mix as well.
Our View:
Either Frandsen or Velez should be the opening day starter. Frandsen could challenge a solid average, but does not offer much speed or power. Velez has great speed, but may end up as the primary backup in a utility role.
