[Hulavol]

wonder if he could play some second base...

 

[Julio3000]

This is the news I have been waiting for.

Given the ABs, he could outhit Uggla. Doubt he could turn the dp, though.

 

[Gary82]

I'd sign him. He couldn't possibly hit worse than BJ or Uggla.

 

[jpx7]

I'd bet we could entice him with a player-manager role.

 

[AerchAngel]

Hitting coach perhaps? The two we have now are collecting a pay check with no results. What do we have to lose?

We'd see a lotta first pitch taking.

I read an article today where Franco says he wants to use this gig as a springboard to get back into coaching with an affiliated organization. I don't know about you, but I think Franco would make a great hitting coach.

Do you think he can fix Uggla and BJ?

No, but he might be the guy to challenge Uggla to a "Loser Leaves Town" arm-wrestling match.

Give us the jesus juice and bring our offense back to life.
