Jeff "Frenchy" Francoeur

As I am sitting here I am watching the Braves game against the Dodgers and i just can't believe what i am seeing. Jeff Francoeur, one of the biggest coups that John Schuerholtz has ever pulled off (a top 10 draft talent that JS got on something like the 27th pick) is blowing Atlanta and the national media up. Tonight alone he has a rally starting triple, got his ninth outfield assist gunning Odaliz Perez at second, and hit a two run homer, his tenth in just over 100 ABs. The kid is penomenal. There were so many people at the beginning of the season killing his plate discipline and saying how it would hold him back. And they had a valid point. He was never one to strike out a ton, but it was really the fact that he walked so much. Now that everyone has seen him play they all realize he just loves to swing the bat and there isn't much he can't hit. Was he bored with the minors? I mean why now? I don't find his performance this year akin to Charles Thomas from last year. I think this is how Jeff is going to be. He was born to be an Atlanta Brave.
