Frazier Crucial to White Sox Offense 

After experiencing a career year in which he hit 35 home runs, drove in 89 runs and won the Home Run Derby, the Cincinnati Reds traded Frazier in the offseason to the White Sox in a three-team trade.

One thing that helped him become a star was his exhibition of power to all parts of the field at the smaller Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

Another was his ability to stay on the field. He played over 150 games in each of the past three seasons.

This year at the bigger U.S. Cellular Field, Frazier was showing no signs of losing any power, as he hit his 11th homer of the season in the fourth inning against the Rangers before injuring himself.
