Just another indication that Frenchy needs to shut up and produce on the field first before preclaiming that he is the solution to be that RH powerbat OFer that his line up needs….Not swinging at everything that is out of the strike zone and is able to draw walks otherwise we will see FYF being shipped to another team to deal with his lack of plate discipline…

The hands are back. The hips are coiled. The head is down. The ball is out there, somewhere.

"All I have to do from here," he says, "is spin on my back foot."

And then Jeff Francoeur blows his empty hands through the strike zone, which at this moment, extends from about the grocery cart/laundry basket to the trash can/spittoon.

He looks up in a busy Atlanta Braves clubhouse.

"All winter long I’ve read where we need a right-handed power bat," he says. "I know where that big right-handed bat has been. It’s right here."

He means himself, of course.
