Juan Francisco

Whats the word on him? Hes been tearing it up in Dayton. Is he just hot at the right time or is he gonna be big?

Re: Juan Francisco

He has the chance to be very good. Everyone I have talked to or heard talk about him has said nothing but good things.

Re: Juan Francisco

Last year, he had 218 at-bats and six walks. I've heard his defense needs a good deal of work, too.

Re: Juan Francisco

Yeah, those are two of the faults in his game.... defense and plate discipline. He can hit though.

Re: Juan Francisco

New Fever, edit that out. BA doesnt allow copy and paste jobs. Leave up the link and just say they have some praise for Francisco.

After looking at it, I don't think it is "premium content," but still, BA doesn't look too kindly on people copying and pasting their articles into other web sites. I'd rather lean towards being safe than sorry when it comes to that stuff. No harm, no foul, New Fever.
