Not Just Another FYF post

by Swo12bv on Sep 4, 2008 2:10 PM EDT Comment 16 comments

ok first off I use FYF, not fully understanding the acronym, i just know it represents Frency...But to the meat of my question. Has Jeff begun to break out of his season long slump, the past week or so he seems to be playing a little bit better, not that he is tearing the cover off the ball or anything, but still. Is this just hopeful enthuasism on my part or is there something to this? Also, i found a very interesting stat, that works against Francoeur but still. It was Runs Not Batted In. Ive always thought RBIs was a screwed stat, because if you have more opportunites than everyone else you better have more RBI. Jeff had the 4th most Runs Not Batted In, with Brad Hawpe leading the way.

I dont really know what Im trying to say, but I think theres still reason to beleive Jeff can be our RF of the future. Ive never thought of him as a superstar but he would be a great guy to have batting 6th or 7th, very similar to Jay Buhner. This is the proper comparison, those who compare Buhner to Cody Johnson, are incorrect, Buhner had a cannon for an arm, theres no evidence that Johnson has that skill, or any defensive skll for that matter.

FYF = Frenchy you Fail or Frenchy you Fuck

And maybe Frenchy you Freak if he actually does well.

Frenchy’s LD% is around 20, but his BABIP is only .260, so he’s getting a little unlucky. But the infield flies he pops into and weak grounders he hits hurt his projected BABIP. But it should be at least .300 or so. So, yeah, he could be breaking out.

Fourth most runs not batted in, eh? That’s what happens when you plug a crappy hitter behind your .400 OBP guys.

Jay Buhner isn’t really an accurate comparison either, because Buhner could WALK. He’s not Adam Dunn good at walking, but Buhner had two 100 walk seasons Cody Johnson is obviously worse comparison for the same reason and what you said.

Frenchy can be a average major league corner outfield with a rocket arm, which isn’t bad at all. The problem is the Braves tried to make him the face of the franchise and he and a bunch of other people bought it. People lump(ed) him into the elite hitters our club’s had in the past few years (Chipper, Teix, McCann), which is really stupid since he’s a worse hitter than Kelly Johnson, who everyone hates. Some people probably still think he will be a star. Frenchy probably thinks he will be too, since he pissed his panties at getting sent down to the minors. I think he can be our RF of the future, as long as people are prepared for and expect someone very average.

Good stuff.

I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

Is he playing Winter ball this offseason?

He’s a crappy Vlad Guerrero at best.

Buhner kicks ass, he had the best stance.

Teachable moment...

You can resize using some HTML code…

Just use this code:
< img src=“http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk94/bravesjohn155/Braves20vs20Marlins2082028%2008/IMG_7960cuchipperssecret.jpg” height=“X”/ >

Remove the spaces after the “<” and before the “>” and make X any number, such as 100 like I did on my resize.
