He tends to swing and miss a little...not sure that's the direction this team needs to go!
No
Id rather get a sexually transmitted disease than trade for him.
Francoeur has posted OPS's of .742, .782, and .653 in his last three years in the majors which is really bad, especially for a corner OF. He was unlucky with BABIP last year, but even with an adjustment, his numbers would still sit around an OPS of .740. He doessometimes

In Frenchie's best year, 2007, he posted a VORP of 17.9 runs and was +10 plays in the field, so he was 25 runs better than the average replacement right fielder, and that was by far his best year. In 2006 he had a VORP of -1 and was just mediocre in RF. 2008 his VORP was -17.8 runs and he was -17 plays in the field for a grand total of -30.5 runs, so I think it would be best if the reds stay far, far away from Frenchie.

Franceour is Dunn with defense. How can some of you NOT want him?
I dont even see how you could remotely make that connectionOriginally Posted by DTCromer
They both swing and miss a lot. Dunn hits a few more homers, makes more baserunning mistakes, is fatter and lazier.
SUre Jeffy hasn't been too good these past few years, but people who want Dunn here should be happy to have Francoeur. A change of scenery would do Jeffey well. . . kinda like Homer.
Francoeur wishes he had half the BB rate of adam dunn.
And isolated power, and talent, and....this list could go on forever.
Dunn>>>Francoeur, its not even close.
really it is.....
pass on both.
i would like him but for the right price
Looking at the FX Chart from dougdirt on ORG, it looks like Franceour misses everywhere.
