Francoeur would rather swing and miss than walk

Jeff Francoeur spoke at the annual Georgia Tech baseball banquet Saturday night and he gave the audience some insight into his approach at the plate.  To close his speech, Jeff proudly announced that "its better to go down swinging than to walk".  Obviously.  He quickly realized his freudian slip and corrected himself by saying "its better to go down swinging than to go down looking". Was this a clever joke?  Maybe, but the look on his face really makes me think that is was not.

haha That Francoeur really knows how to put his foot in his mouth.

anyone who watches Frenchys approach at the plate should expect a comment like that from him

"OBP is not a production number, and should not be used as something he achieved."
