Runner on 3B, less than 2 out, who do you want to see up?

I think it's hysterical that the signing we all hated and railed against at every possible turn this offseason has been mentioned multiple times in this thread.

This situation doesn’t come up all that often.  In Frazier’s case, 5 times in 34 games.  But it seems something he’s well-suited to do.

Appeared to have a productive at bat in similar situation in extra innings yesterday, only to be spoiled by a perfect throw.

I think he's well suited for it, too.  He's not going to swing for the fences when all he needs to do is make contact.  I think he's got a decent idea of the strike zone and would simply look to put the bat on the ball in order to make the defense make a play.

No one ever said he couldn’t put the bat on the ball. His contact rate is about the only good thing he does at the plate.

Notice, no one is saying he will do anything positive outside of having a good at bat and putting the ball in play.

Frank Robinson. Or is that not allowed?

@Frobbywhere do you get those stats from in the opening post?

[InsideCoroner]

Facing a righty, I would go with Adley. 
Against a lefty, Urias. 

[Jagwar]

Definitely not Paul Bako or Lew Ford

Scroll down and click on the section called Team PH/HR/Situ Hitting.  The relevant columns are towards the right side of that display.

I have no clue if the data backs this up, but I really think Urias has a sound approach.

However, I think the answer to this question has to be Adley as he is just so much better than everyone else.
