4. 3B Todd Frazier – CWS
Todd Frazier is fresh off of back-to-back All-Star seasons in 2014 and 2015 with the Cincinnati Reds. He displayed his power well at both events, finishing as a runner-up in the Home Run Derby of 2014 before eventually going on to win it last season.
Great American Ballpark in Cincy was extremely kind to hitters, so it may have helped Frazier with his career power numbers. He clubbed 108 through five seasons there while setting a new personal best in 2015 with 35. He’s never been a .300 kind of guy when it comes to making contact, but he’s surely better than the .163 BA he sports at the moment. His .182 BAbip also suggests he’s having some terrible luck with his balls hit into play
U.S. Cellular Field is also very accommodating to hitters and Frazier is in a pretty deep lineup with the likes of Jose Abreu, Adam Eaton, Brett Lawrie and Melky Cabrera. The power outage is not in full effect either, as Frazier has gone deep twice this season. This is the first time in his career the New Jersey native hasn’t suited up for the Reds. Once he gets his bearings, he should find a groove and produce a line that looks similar to .260-30-85 for fantasy baseball purposes.
