that’s what I always think. It’s disturbing — i’m old enough to like Kenny, and smart enough (which requires simply that I have brain stem function) to not like Jeffy, so I’ve got a littel cognitive dissonance going on here.

Jonny5, remember, OBP percentage isn’t important. If it was they’d put it on the scoreboard.

Probably trade him back to the Rangers at the trade deadline.

Which would hurt more? His OBP has to hurt him greatly, I’d throw that.

Make sure it’s straight otherwise he won’t make contact.

Looks like I have a reason to hit some Sox/Royals games down on the South Side. Question is: what should I bring to throw at Frenchie?

Thank god, I can stop holding my breath now…. I was worried from sheer will alone Craig would have Frenchie playing for Philly. Kinda like Richard Burton in “Medusa’s touch”.

He looks like Kenny Loggins in that picture.

I’m a Royals fan, and as long as it’s not big money I’m OK with it. But I’m not counting on much from him.

What’s bad, is If you totalled Francoeur’s 2010 totals he would have lead the Royals in HR, RBI’s, and had more BB than all hitters except Billy Butler

(shrug) Back to putting the hopes on the farm system.

But is he in the best shape of his life?

PS. I hate that pic so damn much. Craig, I know you use it b/c you love to hate it.

I just can’t and would never wish such terrible things upon Royals fans. Sorry KC. You don’t deserve any additional punishment.

As a Royals AND Giants fan who also hates the Braves, I pretty much hate every offseason and August.

Nice Ocean’s 11 reference.

Who DIDN’T see this coming? I bet he’ll also bat 3rd or 4th and be the face of the franchise.
