He's been pretty close to average against lefties this year despite Citi Field, and has been better than that over his career.

And he’s at least a solid corner outfielder. As long as nothing relevant is given up, he’s decent depth on this team and a solid platoon option for Murphy.

Chris Davis disease

Dude can’t walk and has poor strike zone recognition.

Actually, it’s the other way around, really. Chris Davis has Jeff Francouer disease.

Ne, he doesn't K as much as Davis does

Actually he K’s less than I thought he did.

Their BB/K ratios are incredibly similar, which is what I was looking at, but actually it’s because Francouer is really, really terrible at taking walks. Like Julio Borbon/Bengie Molina bad.

Horrible plate discipline.

Never, ever get excited about horrible plate discipline until you’ve had a few years of it working out.

I’d bet if I look it up there was some likely BABIP overperformance going on, too.

by philkid3 on Aug 31, 2010 9:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah, .337 BABIP in both of his good seasons, 2005 and 2007.

And his 2007 WAR was still largely fielding based.
