    Medlen moved to the pen for the Braves. Francoeur probably the next move to be made. Only a matter of time

      What move do you think they'd make with Frenchy? Cut his ass? I'm sure nobody would offer dick to take him off our hands.

      Is Heyward ready??

        Wren has made it clear we're not done with moves and Francoeur is the last bum to go away in our depth chart to be honest. We're fine everywhere else now, especially with Johnson being able to move back to 6th or so in the order where he thrives. They've been talking to teams all season about Franceour. There's no value there and i assume he'd just be thrown in with some other guys that do have value, but management knows he has to go. He's way overpaid is why he has no value. If Brian Barton does well, things could get even more interesting.

        The only reason Francoeur even got that money was because the Braves didn't want to embarrass his idiot ass through arbitration. I hated that decision. The jackass wanted over 4 million and the Braves had many many stats and incidents to throw at him. He makes more than Garret Anderson. Retarded. If he hadn't turned down the McCann like contract, he'd be sitting pretty and the Braves would be in the shit. The fact he thought he could be worth more money than McCann shows what a headcase loser he is

            12.2 k/9...not bad. Leaves a high % on base...low hr/9 and a nice whip.


            Anyone actually saw him pitch before? Has to have some decent stuff.

                    Yeah. Big kid - 6'6" about 225 or so. Sits in the low to mid 90's. Can top out at about 97. Superior curveball and he's added a nice slider to the repertoire over the past year. He also has a plus changeup. Great poise and attitude as well. I'd compare his size, his stuff and his demeanor to Roy Halladay, fwiw.
