I didn’t like it, you didn’t like it. Nobody liked it when the Orioles signed veteran second baseman Adam Frazier to a one-year, $8 million deal back in December. From one point of view, Frazier and his .238/.301/.311 slash line in 2022 didn’t feel like enough of an upgrade over Rougned Odor. From another, it felt like Frazier’s arrival was blocking Ramón Urías, a Gold Glover at third, or Terrin Vavra, whom I was excited to see more of, or an exciting prospect like Jordan Westburg or Joey Ortiz.
Well, it turns out we were wrong about a few things.
