[Angrioter]

I guess we miss JPA.

DON'T

 

serious cap filler

[fatcowxlive]

Yes!! I'm for this!

[Caper]

This has to be a late April fools joke.

[G-Snarls]

The very definition of replacement level

 

0 WAR over 5 seasons

 

Was sitting around waiting to be signed

[G-Snarls]

Option status?

 

Minor league contract?

 

He's fine for Buffalo, Lawrie/Lind backup

[Laika]

Option status?

 

Minor league contract?

 

I don't see any reason for Francisco to get anything more than a minor league deal. Maybe we see him for a bit if Sierra and Lind get hurt at the same time, or something like that.

Francisco is 1B...................He's like Thames at 3B

[eastcoastjaysfan]

.776 career OPS against RHP. If he's versatile, nothing wrong with this.

Plays 1B, 3B like EE and LF lol

 

I like him, lots of raw power and a similar story to EE... I wonder if we can turn him into (if anything) a home run machine vs RHP

 

Edit: Here's an old thread I made on the old forum on this guy.... oh the memories http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=ml-bluejays&tid=82691

[jaysblue]

The next EE perhaps. He's not an ideal player, but his power potential is worth taking a chance on. He's still only 26 I believe, so there isn't any harm in this.

I'm going to guess that that's the one where he hits it into the Cincy river? I loved that homer!

HR that hung in the air for 8 seconds: http://m.mlb.com/video/v28332311/chcmil-francisco-puts-brewers-ahead-with-solo-homer/?c_id=mlb

[Grant77]

.252/.312/.464 against righties plays in the right situation, but I don't see how he fits in here.

So AA has a weird obsession with relievers and people with the name Francisco.

 

 

Francisco Cordero

Frank Francisco

Ben Francisco

[Captain Adama]

That bastard decided to hit like, 4 home runs and ruined my first fantasy week last year.

That was a pretty ugly swing though

[Atothe]

this guy is a 1b/3b who can't get on base 33% of time vs righties, not a good choice unless lind gets hurt
