He's been on the top of my list for the closer in Toronto and Cito Gaston made it official as Frasor not only outpitched both Kevin Gregg and Scott Downs this spring, but he held the job he had at the end of last season.  If you look at Frasor's complete spring stats it doesn't really tell the whole story.  He has a 6.75 ERA, but if you remove 1/3 of an inning his ERA over the other five innings pitched at a 0.00 ERA.  His two strikeouts were a bit dissappointing, but expected.

The Blue Jays won't provide Frasor with an enormous amount of saves, especially in the A.L. East.  He will give you around 25 saves and 8-9 K/9 rate.  Expect a regression from his ERA and WHIP numbers last year, but not much.  Frasor has come into his own and the Frasor we saw last year is here to stay.

You can easily draft him in rounds 16-21.  Take him anywhere in that group and you have yourself a solid #3 closer.
