Francoeur trade

Jersey

Personally, I'm sorry to see Francoeur go. He was a good clubhouse guy and I think the hitting potential and good arm are there. I'd like to know what the others think - but no wisecracks about the Mets from the Yankees or the Phillies fans.

He's actually pretty good against left-handers.

Usually a reason Braves, needing outfield help, got rid of him. Has a good arm, not sure where the power went, but doesnt look to me like he has figured out how to adjust, not sure about clubhouse thing.

Not really sure why the Rangers traded for him. I don't know what he offers that the Rangers don't already have.

Simply not true. Players and the press in Atlanta loved him and from everything I've read, his teammates in the Queens respected him as well. I guess its fair game to criticize him for demanding a trade out of NY once he lost his starting spot, but I certainly wouldn't call him a whiner for that. Its business.

He needs a good hitting coach to figure out what he was doing 4 years ago vs. what he's doing today.
