Adam Frazier Dropped To Eighth, Kevin Newman Leading Off
5 years agoPittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier is being dropped from the leadoff spot to the No. 8 spot in the batting order on Thursday against Brewers starting pitcher Chase Anderson. Shortstop Kevin Newman will become a DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot on Thursday. Newman isn't known for his bat really, but he's hit .347/.410/.493 with a homer and 11 RBI in his 75 at-bats and the Bucs will try him in the top spot. Frazier has been extremely mediocre with a .250/.303/.352 line and three homers, 13 RBI and two steals. He will lose a lot of value in deeper leagues if he stays at the bottom of the lineup.
