Correct. Frandsen's 2007 performance was disappointing , but not embarrassingly bad.
I'd also like to point out that most players receiving spotty playing time are also being used as platoon pinch hitters and to spell starting position players in the baseball equivalent of garbage time (ie: against the opponent's #5 starter, or against middle relievers in a game that's all but decided). Both these serve to offset, or even trump, the negative effects of inconsistent play. Again, this is a general rule rather than a specific reference to Frandsen (who didn't have much of a platoon split to exploit).

Re: Rick Hurd: Scouts take on Frandsen
Had one more AB produced a hit instead of an out, Fransden would now be batting .296 with about a .385 OBP and .790 OPS. He made 3 errors this spring at SS but none at 3B or 2B. With that one AB Hurd would be singing his praises.

Rick Hurd: Scouts take on Frandsen
Maybe you didnt see his numbers against Vandy when he hit a dinger and a triple or Oregon St. when he hit one over the green monster in CF 450 ft or against Michigan when he hit 2 more dingers???? All those teams are in the top 10, or were when ASU played them
