Re: Info on Juan Francisco
I don't think he switch hits. He did not hit right handed in the 8 games I've seen this year. He hit left handed against both righties and lefties.

Re: Info on Juan Francisco
Francisco is listed as a switch hitter, but he does not do so. It may have been something he did when he was playing in the Dominican so it carried over to the media guides or something, but he no longer hits from both sides.
His defense needs some work, but lets be honest, what 19 year old 3B does not need some work? He needs to work on his plate discipline, but as a hitter, he is special. The ball jumps off his bat unlike most guys. He has special types of power. His batting stance is a little different than most, but he gets the bat through the zone quickly.
