It may be hard to believe, but it is true. Kevin Frandsen is enjoying the game as much as he ever did.

The IronPig infielder that had 228 big league at-bats from 2006-2010 has watched the injury-riddled Phillies constantly overlook him as they make their moves above.All Frandsen does is work hard where he is at."My goal is to win here," Frandsen says. "The group of guys we have and the coaching staff we have is pretty easy to play here. It's hard to get frustrated."The last part of his statement is the key. While he says he will work hard to win wherever he plays, he is content right now in the Lehigh Valley for all it has to offer a baseball player.After parts of four big-league seasons with the San Francisco Giants, Frandsen went to Los Angeles for one season where he served as a utility infielder for the Angels. His big league average is a modest .243 which has a lot to do with erratic playing time."I don't like sitting. I'm here to play," Frandsen said. "My only year fully in the minor leagues was '05 until last year. That was the last time I played a (full season). That was awesome! You can get into a groove, a routine."Over the past two seasons as a IronPig, he has settled in nicely to a consistent routine. Through this past weekend, he is clearly the IronPigs hottest hitter. Last Friday, Frandsen went 4-for-4 with three RBI in the IronPig win. Last night he ripped two doubles that drove in four runs as Lehigh Valley knocked off the Toledo Mudhens in the first game of an eight-game road trip.Frandsen started the season without a hit in his first 20 at-bats. Through today, Frandsen is hitting .282 which is much closer to his .307 career average in the minors."I'm not mad. I've talked to many guys about this on other teams that come in," Frandsen said. "You have 10,000 fans here every night and they are all into the 'Pigs. You could be playing in Buffalo in front of a hundred people and it feels like you are playing in spring training."The crowds have translated into a batting average of above .340 in the friendly confines of Coca-Cola Park where the 'atmosphere', according to Frandsen, is outstanding."The atmosphere [at Coca-Cola Park] brings out the way minor league baseball should be," Frandsen said.To add to that more recently, Frandsen has become the IronPigs clutch hitter when men are on the basepaths."Like I saw last year and he continues to do it, when he gets hot he can get real hot," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "With men in scoring position he's aggressive up there and swings the bat. He uses the whole field. He's staying on the ball. "A lot of that has to do with his work with hitting coach Sal Rende."He and Sal have made a few adjustments to hold his hands higher so that he can stay on top of the ball. That has resulted in hard ground balls," Sandberg said.So is he frustrated about not being called up? Not a chance."If you keep on grinding it out at some point its going to happen."Wright On! ... The big addition to the IronPigs over the past few weeks is the Independent League pitcher from Sugar Land, Texas named Matt Wright.In Wright's debut, he pitched six innings and gave up just one run an impressive start for a 30-year old journey man struggling to stay in pro baseball."I pitched six solid innings and gave my team a chance to win, that was my goal," Wright said during the recent home stand.As a member of the Atlantic League, Sugar Land had long, grueling road trips that wore on the team with little sleep. In the eight games before Philly called on him to join their minor league system, Wright gave up no more than two runs in a game.His second IronPig start this past Saturday extended that streak to 10-games combined as he gave up just one run in 6.2 innings as LV lost to Durham 3-0.Wright is taking it all in stride in trying to capitalize on the opportunity, but he is grounded in the long journey that he is exploring."You know how this game is, you never know where you are going to be the next day," said Wright.The one that got away! ... Former IronPig Brandon Moss (Oakland A's) is getting the extended big-league shot that all players crave. After going 3-for-5 last Thursday with two doubles and a homer, Moss appropriately is fitting in well with the 'Green' in Oakland as he hit five homers in his first seven games (26 AB).He started the year in Triple-A Sacramento where he belted out 15 homers in 51 games. As of today, he is hitting .278 with six homers and 11 RBI in 36 at-bats (11 games).Quote of the week ... Domonic Brown on being injured.
