Career [edit]
College [edit]
Born in Los Gatos, California, Frandsen graduated from Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose, California, and later attended San José State University, playing for the Spartans and leaving the school as its all-time leader in hits.
San Francisco Giants [edit]
He was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 12th round (370th overall) of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft and made his Major League debut with the Giants on April 28, 2006. Frandsen hit his first Major League home run on August 17, 2006, against the Padres at PETCO Park.[1]
In March 2008, the San Francisco Giants confirmed that Frandsen ruptured his left Achilles' tendon, which forced him to miss nearly the entire season.[2] Frandsen was activated before the final game of the season; he had his only at-bat as a pinch hitter and made an out.
Frandsen participated in the Arizona Fall League in 2005, 2006 and 2008.
During the Giants' 2009 spring training camp Frandsen competed with Emmanuel Burriss for the starting second baseman position; Burris was named the starter on April 1, 2009 and Frandsen was sent to the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies. Later in the year, May 17, 2009, Frandsen was called up as Juan Uribe was placed on the bereavement list.[3]
Boston Red Sox [edit]
Just prior to the 2010 season, Frandsen was dealt to the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later and cash considerations.
On March 29, 2010, Frandsen was optioned to the Boston Red Sox Triple-A Affiliate, the Pawtucket Red Sox along with catcher Dusty Brown.[4]
On April 28, 2010, Frandsen was Designated for Assignment by the Red Sox.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim [edit]
On April 29, 2010, Frandsen was acquired off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He was added to the active roster, mainly playing third base to help the team deal with injuries to Maicer Izturis and Brandon Wood.
After the 2010 season, the Angels non-tendered Frandsen, making him a free agent.[5]
San Diego Padres [edit]
On January 5, 2011, Frandsen signed a minor-league contract with the San Diego Padres.[6] He was released on March 25.
Philadelphia Phillies [edit]
Three days after his release from the Padres, Frandsen signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. He spent the 2011 season with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate. After spending the first four months of the 2012 season in Lehigh Valley, he was placed on the Phillies' 25-man active roster on July 27 following Plácido Polanco's move to the Disabled List. Frandsen played 55 games, including 49 starts at third base, batting .338 with 10 doubles and 2 home runs in 195 at-bats. After the season, he signed a one-year contract with the Phillies.
Personal life [edit]
His older brother, David Frandsen Jr. ("D.J."), died in 2004 from a 19-year battle with Wilms' tumor, a mere three months after Frandsen was drafted.[7] As a token of affection and remembrance, Giants pitching coach and long-time family friend Dave Righetti offered Frandsen his jersey number 19, knowing that D.J.'s favorite number was also 19, and that he had admired Righetti as a child.[8]
In 2007, Frandsen completed the final two classes he needed for graduation and earned a degree in finance from San José State University.
