Frandsen - Already Overexposed, But I Like Him

Hard to miss Kevin Frandsen these days...he's been on Ralph and Tom, Fitz and Brooks, the Sharks game with Drew, etc etc. Let's put it this way - he's clearly not shy!

Hard not to like him too. His enthusiasm is infectious. I even found myself thinking 'wow, maybe this Giants team of youngsters really will surprise!'

Well, fat chance. But, you gotta love his positivity, confidence, and can do attitude (God, I sound like a resume, sorry about that!)

Last night on Ralph and Tom Frandsen boldly predicted he'd hit 40-50 doubles, and that he'd be one of several Giants to do so. We'll see. He did raise a good point - that people may be selling the Giants offense short. Yes they don't have a middle of the order hitter, but with speed, aggressive play on the basepaths and a little luck they could have just enough offense to be respectable with their great starting pitching.

It's doubtful, but the fact that Frandsen has me - a true cynic of everything Giants for the last several years - even thinking about believing is a testament to his youthful exuberance and faith. And you know, youth, exuberance and faith have been in short supply 'round these parts for a long time.

Here's to hoping it's justified!
