Saga of Jeff Francoeur continues

[tvsportscaster]

Frenchy DFA'd again, this time by the Giants.

[thethe]

He made his money but he must kick himself everyday for turning down that contract. Thankfully for us he did.

[BRule]

Long live Hack

[DaneHill]

I can't help but feel for the guy. Such a high pinnacle to fall from. I hate that he's become a poster boy for flame out prospects for us. He should just give it up and become a model / actor before his looks fade too.

[Bama9507]

Poor guy and his millions

WHERE WILL THE HACK ATTACK GO

[Runnin]

Poor guy and his millions
Does anyone know how much he has made so far? I guess he's also done a bunch of commercials.

[nsacpi]

He and Heyward are very similar. I would sign him to platoon with Heyward in right.

[The Chosen One]

He has/had a great throwing arm. Can we try him in the bullpen? Let's see if his old QB skills can transform into a relief pitcher.

Plus there'd be a happy ending to this story. If he gets TJ, nobody will ever sign him ever again, and we can say we started and ended The Jeff Francoeur Experiment.

Sadly I feel like someone will think you're being cereal.

[AUTiger7222]

Maybe he can finally go play for Clemson?

[zitothebrave]

Being 100% serious, a poor team could use him and Schafer as an effective platoon. Schafer doesn't hit lefties well and Jeff and only kinda hit lefties. Maybe together with their defense they'd equal a 2 WAR RF.

If I'm the Nats, there's only one move to be made: double waiver.

They have set a precedent for collecting reserve outfielders/messiah candidates.

$25,647,000

that is what he has made playing baseball

[thethe]

Francouer should try and pitch now. His hitting career is over.

[Runnin]

I agree. I think he would love and probably thrive in all the attention of being on the mound.

[Runnin]

$25,647,000 - that is what he has made playing baseball
That amount leaves me speechless.

[Runnin]

Sadly I feel like someone will think you're being cereal.

Kellogg introduces "Hey Jeff", a new breakfast option for ballers, guaranteed to raise your outfield assists and leave hitting coaches scratching their heads.

[Bdawg2309]

maybe the braves could develop him into a reliever

[stpeteirish]

He made his money but he must kick himself everyday for turning down that contract. Thankfully for us he did.

you sure about that? Looks like he's made at least as much in his tour thru baseball the last 6 years.

[Deester11]

I've always loved the humor.

[wheresmykayak]

Hire him as a third hitting coach. Just tell all the players "Whatever he tells you to do, do the exact opposite."

George Costanza principle.

[gilesfan]

Poor guy and his millions

Simply cannot feel sorry for people if they have money!

[50PoundHead]

I'm so over this whole conversation. I liked him when he first came up and always had some hope for him until it became obvious that he was either one of the dumbest or most stubborn players who ever laced up their spikes.

[Hawk]

Can he play 2B?

[bravebonebook]

Man, I feel bad for the guy. Now that he is looking for work, again, what does he have to console himself except his millions in the bank, his large, probably mortgage free home, attractive wife, lot of cars, good looks, and he can officially retire at the ripe old age of what, 29?! Not like he couldn't end up in any number of other less stress jobs like broadcasting...if he wanted to, that is and not just enjoy the money and investments he's already made!

How will Jeff Francoeur ever live with himself, now? :roll:

(PS: won't be long until someone calls him to play for them.)

[Bama9507]

If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard? He's a good player. Just needs time.

[nsacpi]

I wonder what kind of hitting coach Frenchy would be.

[Julio3000]

I wonder what kind of hitting coach Frenchy would be.

I imagine him as a very active and vocal coach. I can just see him sitting in the dugout, yelling encouragement to his charges:

"Stay aggressive!"
"Hey, that looked like a good one!"
"Let 'er rip, kid!"
"Too close to take!"
"Gotta swing at that one, buddy!"
