KEVIN FRANDSEN RUMORS
Phillies rally late, but lose second straight to Brewers
The Phillies had an eighth inning rally, but it was not enough to erase a late deficit as they fell 4-3 to the Brewers in the third game of their series in Milwaukee.
The loss puts the team back under .500, and they have now guaranteed themselves a loss in the season series to the Brewers, who are in last place in the N.L. Central.

Frandsen Channeling and Surpassing Dobbs
The Phillies haven’t gotten off to the best of starts but the team hasn’t been devoid of bright spots. The Phillies’ bench has been one of the best in the league and Kevin Frandsen deserves much of the credit. Frandsen is hitting .258/.361/.516 in 37 plate appearances after hitting .338/.383/.451 last year.
Frandsen had the best season of his career in 2012, and in the early...
Plugging Frandsen in Against Lefties is Smart Move
In what was viewed as a bit of an unorthodox move, Charlie Manuel started Kevin Frandsen at first base yesterday in place of Ryan Howard. Howard was hitting .303/.342/.606 with five HR in his last 19 games and has been locked in, so it came as a surprise to some when he was replaced in the line-up by Frandsen. Frandsen rewarded the Phillies with a 1-4 day at the plate with a solo...
Kevin Frandsen- Outfielder?
Kevin Frandsen's bat needs to be in the Phillies lineup on a semi-regular basis. Since joining the Phils he's done nothing but hit- .345/.851 in 57 games, including that bases clearing game winning double in the 9th last night. Yes, that is a small sample size, but until he proves otherwise he's a hot commodity. For the record, he's always hit in the minors...

Frandsen Saves the Day in Lannan’s Solid Debut
Kevin Frandsen the hero? Indeed. The Phillies got a huge ninth inning hit from Kevin Frandsen to beat the Royals, 4-3.
FRANDSEN WINS IT!
-With the bases loaded in the ninth, following ugly strikeouts from Domonic Brown and John Mayberry Jr., Kevin Frandsen unloaded them with a double to the wall, giving the Phillies their first home win of the season. Frandsen didn’t do too much...
A payday for Kevin Frandsen
Kevin Frandsen did not get rich a few days ago when the Phillies signed him for $850,000 plus incentives. That is certainly not big money when it comes to baseball contracts. But when you think that it took eight years of minor league ball and several cups of coffee for him to stick at the major league level, that is a pretty big deal. But his signing doesn't mean that the Phillies...
Phillies, Kevin Frandsen Agree to One-Year Contract
Kevin Frandsen was signed as a minor-leaguer in 2011 and never made it to the big club, instead playing in AAA while getting hit with a 50-game suspension for taking Adderall that was not cleared before use. In 2012 Frandsen appeared to be an after thought; despite all the Phillies' early injuries playing time went to Pete Orr and Michael Martinez. Frandsen shined for the...
MLB Opinion: Frandsen Not Solution for Phillies at Third
Kevin Frandsen had a career year for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2012. The 30 year old journeyman hit .338 in 55 games after taking over at third base for the oft injured Polacido Polanco. It was an impressive season, but not enough to think that he can be a solution at the hot corner for a playoff contending team.
Many fans are high on Frandsen and talk on many sports talk radio...
Kevin Frandsen Joins the Phillies
Yesterday, infielder Kevin Frandsen joined the Phillies from the Lehigh Valley Ironpigs (AAA). Frandsen will take the place of third baseman Placido Polanco on the 25 man roster. The reason why Frandsen is with the Phillies because Polanco was placed on the 15 day DL on Thursday due to lower back inflammation, this was retroactive to July 23rd. This season for the IronPigs, Frandsen...
