Jeff Francoeur has been traded! My second favorite New York based baseball team Mets traded one of their alright star who plays right fielder Ryan Church to the Braves for booming baseballer Jeff Francoeur.
Jeff Francoeur Stats
Jeff Francoeur performed at .250 with five home runs and 35 RBIs in 82 games. All this while playing forthe Braves this season.
On the other hand, Ryan Church gave a measly.280 while batting and this with two homers and 22 RBIs in 67 games for the Mets.
“This is a trade that’s not only for now, but for next year and beyond, because of the youth of the player and that what he does fits the ballpark,” general manager Omar Minaya said.
Jeff Francoeur is just 25 years old right now and already has a reputation across the league for his defense in right field.
Are you a fan of Jeff Francoeur? What do you think about this move to the Mets.
I like Francoeur. He is a solid reliable player, but a humble guy. I don’t like the fact that he was traded, but MLB, just like the NFL and the NBA is a business, unfortunately! So I will root for the Mets now. Good luck Jeff!
I love Jeff Francoeur and have followed his career with the Braves since he started in the big leagues. I was absolutely crushed when he was traded by the Braves to the Mets but, apparently, that’s just what he needed. His hitting has improved to the point he, at times, batted 4th. I feel as though Jeff’s downfall at the Braves was Terry Pendleton (who by the way, only had lifetime batting average of 270; nothing to write home about). Note the other players on the Braves team who are struggling with batting (Kelly Johnson, etc.) Even Chipper and Brian McCann fell short of expectations at the end of the season. Note: Jeff Francoeur’s BA was higher than theirs. Does that tell you something!!!!!!
