A perfect example is when David Eckstein won the WS MVP. Ugh! I like Frandsen a lot but once people start talking about intangibles like “grit” and “determination” I kinda get queasy.

I see him as a future Mark Loretta. He usually starts off cold the first month he's playing at a new level, then hits around .350 the rest of the year so learning curve aside I think he will be the best homegrown Giants position player since Bill Mueller, not that that's saying much.

Frandsen will never be more than a backup caliber player in his career. He just doesn't have the physical tools. His range is sub-par and I'm not convinced that he will hit enough to warrant his constant presence in the lineup.

Toot toot! Also, I’ve been on the Kevin Frandsen man-love train for awhile now too. Toot toot!

I don't know what kind of Major Leaguer Kevin will be but I don't see him being an All-Star, I do seeing him becoming someone like a Mark Grudzielanek type player. Good contact skills, doubles power, and decent defense. I think with Kevins strong AFL showing Giants management has to give him a shot to play 2nd next year.
