Francoeur's Delusions of Grandeur

Last week, Jeff Francoeur demanded a trade from the New York Mets because he was upset about being platooned in right field with Fernando Martinez.  Francoeur apparently forgot that even Luis Castillo is hitting better than him at this point in the season.

According to OPS+ (I have no idea what that actually is), Francoeur is literally the worst right fielder in baseball this season.  In other words, Jeff ought to be happy that he is being platooned instead of released.  Kids these days!

Mets Continue to Collapse

Not long after Jeff Francoeur demanded a trade from the New York Mets, infielder Luis Castillo has made it publicly known that he is not happy to be riding the pine at Citi Field.  Castillo is joined in his frustration with the team by literally dozens of fans who still care about the Mets.

Perhaps Castillo should be made aware of Baseball-Reference.com, which will very quickly tell him that he is only hitting .243 on the season, and has no business starting, even for the Mets.

Francoeur Seeking a Trade

Jeff Francoeur of the New York Mets is apparently not happy about potentially being in an outfield platoon with Fernando Martinez.  He is planning on sitting down with GM Omar Minaya to explore potential trade options.  So, if anybody is out there looking for a career .268 hitter with minimal power for a corner outfield... Francoeur is YOUR GUY!!!!

Royals Have a Crush

MLBTradeRumors.com once again comes up with a great headline.  This time: Royals Like Jeff Francoeur.

Apparently, at a 5th grade dance, the Kansas City Royals expressed to their friends that they thought Jeff Francoeur was "kinda cute" and they would like to "go out with him."

In response to a folded up note, Francoeur said something about "icky girls" and ran away.
