    Francoeur to SF on a minor league contract

    He'll report to Fresno.

    Kind of sad to see his career has panned out.

    this honestly needs to be said every time his name is brought up. we'd be looked at as the worst franchise in the game right now if we were paying him that.

    Well we've made a habit of giving out bad contracts recently.

    Agree. It would be like "get in line."

    I am very curious to see if the Francoeur effect will strike again. The Francoeur effect is that he does very well the first year with a new team then nose dives.

    Before he gets busy in Frisco, he'll have to fool around in Fresno.

    that assumes there will be another year. I'm not sure he'll get another deal.

    I don't think Francoeur had a horrible career, a pick in the 20s having a 7 WAR isn't awful.

    Which is based on 2 seasons and 70 AB's...the rest of his seasons are all negative WARs, or like .1 or some BS.
