Is there not enough patience to help him work his way through it? Whoever thought it could come to this for Jeff Francoeur.

There are very few fairy tales in this game, Furman. The fact of the matter is, that "Homegrown Hero" has a .244 average with 16 home runs, 96 RBIs, and a .659 OPS in 210 games since Sept. 19, 2007.

The Braves have demonstrated more patience than 98% of professional organizations would have. After last season, most teams would have non-tendered Francoeur.

Dead weight ultimately will never survive on a Major League roster.

Someone really needs to remove this guy’s feeding tube.

Q: If on-base pct is so important then why don't they put it on the scoreboard? -Failcoeur

A: Because the Braves don't want to show their fans how bad you suck.

He calls himself a relic at the end of the piece.
