Adam Frazier Slated to Start at Second Base for the Angels?
Los Angeles Angels infielder Adam Frazier appears to be the favorite to start at second base on Opening Day, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Fletcher wrote that Frazier is "probably the leader" in the mix for the job after Christian Moore and Kyren Paris were optioned to Triple-A. Other names in the hunt include Oswald Peraza, Nick Madrigal, and Vaughn Grisson. However, Frazier is the leader in the pack amid an impressive spring in which he's slashing .368/.478/.474 with a 8.7% walk rate, a 13.0% strikeout rate, and 159 wRC+. It's a significant accomplishment for the veteran infielder, who originally faced an uphill battle to even make the team after attending camp as a non-roster invite. Now, he's in line to start on Opening Day and will need to be added to both the 26-man and 40-man rosters in the next two weeks. Despite Frazier's newfound starting role, he's not a reliable option in fantasy baseball leagues.
