Give Francoeur A Break

He had a horrible season last year, one might even say abismal but he is only 24. You guys pick more on frenchy than the Mets and Phillies combine. C'mon this guy is still our teammate at least show him a little loyality. It's not like he cost us the world series or something I mean god. He had one bad year on a mediocre at best team. Lets just try to quit bombing on frenchy (at least lay off alittle bit) and try to focus on winning this year and many years to come.

If for whatever reason the Raiders don't resign him and/or put a franchise tag on him I definatley say go for him. We need alot of help in the secondary, he will be 28 at the start of the season, and he is one of the elite corners in football. The guys 6 foot 3 which is great because he will be able to keep up with Steve Smith and he will be tall enough to play with Colsten. This would also help out Houston alot because he is just not a #1 corner but he would be fine at number 2. Odds are he will be resigned anyways but if he is not this is just something to think about.

Could somebody explain Arbitration to me? It really bugs me when people use fillers but I really only have this one question and there is nothing else to say.

Orlando Hudson?

Falconzfan284 — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:27:51 -0000

Metsblog.com said the Braves are trying to acquire Orlando Hudson. Is this true? I wouldn't want Hudson. He is going to get more money than he is worth, he hits for no power, he is not a threat on the base paths, and we have Kelly Johnson. I understand we would probably just move KJ to left field but why waste money on Hudson when we could go spend alittle bit more on somebody useful like Dunn. Anyway the point of this post was to find out if my sources are true and we are making a push at O-dawg, but I would also like to hear people's opinions on the potential signing.

This Is Kind Of A Response To Coachg3's Post

We are not the Yankees. If we go out and sign, and trade for big money players what happens in 3,4,5 years when they are done. If we trade for a guy like Peavy for example we have just drastically hurt are farm. Once our big money guys retire we can't just sign more when they are done because nobody except the yankees can go do that. Thats the thing if we have a good farm we can be good for along time, once our prospects come up we can just keep building, and building. But if we spend money on free agents we lose draft picks and farm players and we MIGHT have a good 2 or 3 year run but after that we have to start all over again with a few miserable seasons.

What do you think of acquiring Bobby Abreu?

I'm new to the site so I am not sure if you have debated this topic before, but what do you think of getting Bobby Abreu. Since 03' the guy has put up 100 rbi's and 95+ runs every year. We need a power hitting outfielder until heyward comes up and granted his HR numbers have been up and down I think he can still get the job done. He is also a lock for atleast 20 steals. I like this guy alot because he has experience playing left field (in Houston), right field (Philly & New York), and alittle bit of center in both citys.
