Juan Francisco Joins Alonso On Mudcats’ DL
Francisco Joins Alonso On Mudcats’ DL
Posted Jun. 21, 2009 7:25 pm by John Manuel Filed under: Daily Dish, Training Room Two days after placing first baseman Yonder Alonso on the disabled list, the Reds’ Double-A affiliate, the Carolina Mudcats, have lost another big bat, as third baseman Juan Francisco was disabled with a strained right hamstring. The move to the seven-day Southern League DL is retroactive to Saturday, the 20th, so he’ll miss the coming week. Francisco was hitting .261/.291/.471, with a rough 11-63 walk-strikeout ratio and 13 home runs in 67 games (276 at-bats). The 13 home runs ties Francisco with Mudcats teammate Chris Heisey for second in the SL behind Ryne Hughes, recently promoted from Montgomery to Triple-A Durham. Taking Francisco’s place on the active roster is utility infielder Jake Kahaulelio, who was hitting .292/.393/.385 at high Class A Sarasota. Kahaulelio was a 20th-round pick in 2007 from Oral Roberts. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/

Re: Juan Francisco Joins Alonso On Mudcats’ DL
I wouldn't say an OBP of less the .300 is exactly playing good. Is he a Wily Mo type player? That's a pretty rough K/BB ratio.

Re: Juan Francisco Joins Alonso On Mudcats’ DL
I think it means he's just turned 22 and not every prospect is Jay Bruce. If he repeats AA next year, he's still got an MLB debut at 24.
