Well, I'm reading Frenchy is "okay" with (not demanding) a trade. Course he is. He see's the writing on the wall. And he prefers playing. If we can't get what we need through dealing him, I think he should stay. If he continues to have at-bats that are worthy of a little league player with no patience or wisdom, he becomes the dull tool many think he is. If someone says he already is that dull tool, I can't argue. His at-bats most times cringe worthy. He is what he is. He could be better if he can be patient, make sure his at bats are more like the way they were at the seasons start. Will he? It don't look like it. I like his spirit and energy, attitude, PR persona. I like a supporting role player (as opposed to say a David Wright, or any upper echelon player) that can deal on that level the way Francoeur does. But sadly that won't even buy him one of C.C.'s energy drinks. And now he is a supporting role player. I still think him in right field in a close game can make a game changing difference. And I think Bay should be seeing more downtime until we see something up from him, and that gets Frenchy more PT. Is his arm alone enough to keep him? I'd like to be able to afford that. Don't think we can But if we can improve the team, and I mean improve it by getting what we need, not just swap parts, I'll salute French and see him off. And if Omar can do that, and I'll be very impressed if he can (as with Perez), then of course he should. If they release him I will be very surprised.
