Up Goes Frazier

Todd Frazier is back after sitting out the Cactus League opener.
"I did some workouts today (Saturday). I'm 100 percent," Frazier said.

Manager Dusty Baker expects to get Frazier two at bats at the end of 2nd game today against the Indians.

"He's been chomping at the bit," Baker said. "These guys build up not only for the two weeks of camp but all winter to play in these games."

Frazier's wait was delayed a day. He was hit in the right knee by Aroldis Chapman on the only pitch he saw in Thursday's intrasquad game.

"I was jealous of those guys yesterday," Frazier admitted.

The 24-year old from Tom's River, New Jersey, has been working at several positions.

"They told me to be ready for anything," Frazier said. "Now, it's a matter of getting at bats."

Frazier has been working closely with Tony Phillips, the former major leaguer, who is in camp as an unofficial coach.

Phillips stood next to Frazier, pointing out different facets of infield play to the idled player.

"He is great. He knows everything, and he's so funny. He has his own little way of saying things, like his own language. You can go 0-for-4 or 0-for-20. Then you talk to him and walk away laughing."
