Maybe you can get Tony, Jr. for depth. I hear he'll play cheap.

Kind of a shame to see how hard Francouer fell and how fast.

I thought we had the right fielder of the future when he was first called up. I was thinking future MVP candidate. But he never learned how to lay off the high heat. Wound up trading him to the Mets straight up for Ryan Church.

The only thing Frenchy has going for him now is he still has a cannon arm.

They still show his In Their Own Words episode during rain delays on Sports South.

????

Didn't Frenchy get cut by the Padres during the season this year?

I know he has all the raw talent in the world, and he is a GREAT guy in the clubhouse, but dude has shown CONTINUOUSLY that he simply cannot produce at the MLB level.

Amaro gets his man - a transient guy on the downhill to replace Gwynn. :lol:

With his lifetime .305 OBP I'm surprised Amaro didn't pick him up a long time ago. On the other hand, if he can teach Ben Revere to throw it's a brilliant move
