61.05 Montreal Signs CF Victor Frazier

[Bob Breum]

Montreal has struggled for years to get production from center field. Playing in Ubisoft with its deep outfield dimensions requires a defender with good range. Fulfilling this condition with a player who can also hit well in the pitcher friendly park has stymied the Blazers for many seasons.

Victor Frazier
Last season, António Hernández established himself as a solid platoon option, hitting .310/.349/.479 against left-handed pitching. The Blazers have been looking for a platoon partner for Hernandez and they think they may have found one with the signing of the left-hand-hitting Victor Frazier.

Only 26, Frazier already has five years of big league experience with Chicago. He has a career line of .247/.302/.406 (86 OPS+) against right-handed pitching. He has elite baserunning and base stealing instincts. Montreal likes his speed and is expected to give him the green light anytime that he reaches base.

Basically the perfect compliment for what you value.

You know me too well.

Looks like a huge overpay on paper, but with the availability of legitimate CF's, it might be a steal.

We are desperate.

I was hoping to sign him for like a million and stash him in AAA. You can never have too many true CF'ers.
