I wonder if this kid thinks this about Frenchy now.

Picture caption:
Back in October 2005, Camp Creek Elementary teacher Sarah Swingle asked her class to write something about Jeff Francoeur, who attended the school as a boy, and here's what student Archie Clark had to say about his future presidential hopeful, Frenchy.

If the Braves explore trading right fielder Jeff Francoeur, the Royals likely would be the team with the most interest. Royals GM Dayton Moore was the Braves' farm director when Francoeur rose through the minors. However, others in the organization are not high on Francoeur, one source said.

The Red Sox have taken two looks at Francoeur, according to another source. Francoeur's poor plate discipline would make him a questionable fit in Boston, but perhaps the Sox see an opportunity to buy low, if they are indeed interested.

The Braves will need to find a power hitter in left even if they keep Francoeur, so trading him would effectively create two holes. Better they give Francoeur every opportunity to straighten out. He was 8-for-17 in his last five games before going 0-for-4 Monday.

Medlen to make his Major League debut Tuesday night against Rockies

Comment by Carroll Rogers also mentions Jo-Jo will be going to the bullpen. I'm guessing that will push James Parr back to the minors. Why keep Jo-Jo over Parr in then 'pen is beyond me because Parr has done well in some key situations the past few times he's pitched and Jo-Jo...well he's done nothing but raise a few fans' blood pressures.

ETA: Another scenario that I didn't think about when posting this was that Bennett could be on the outs. But I find it less likely than sending Parr down, unless Bennett gets sent down. Does anyone know if Bennett even has any options left?

"We didn't hit," manager Charlie Manuel said. "Vazquez pitched good against us. He wasn't doing nothing that I'd say was really great. But he changed speeds and threw strikes and didn't walk people."

Maybe this is why the Phillies have pitching problems...

Manuel didn't think Javy Vazquez's start against them Saturday was "Nothing that he'd say was really great"? I would say it was a heck of a job by Vazquez. Maybe that's why the Phillies need pitching; they don't know a quality start when they see one.

It’s very likely that McCann is going on DL tomorrow, and he made it sound like he’s decided to have the surgery. He wants to get this squared away now, he said, miss a couple of weeks and get back, rather than keep trying to fix it with contacts, etc.

Sammons has been called from Gwinnett. Again, it’s not definite yet, but sounds pretty close to definite. As Bobby said, he didn’t anticipate anything changing overnight. McCann sounds like, in his mind, he’s already decided to have Lasik.

Quote by DOB on Mac's situation.

I think if he goes ahead and has the procedure done now, he'll be back before too much longer. Having the procedure done now will be a lot better than him waiting to have it done since it's obvious that he's having problems with that left eye still.

What Chipper's experience in Toronto might have been like...

This is slightly funny, but it does seem to be poking fun at the southern man known as Chipper. Not sure whether to be offended or laugh, since I, too, am from the southern portion of the US (only a couple of hours from where Chipper is from) and I'm not a redneck (though there are good bit down here), but I guess the term comes with the territory, unfortunately.

Chipper injures oblique again, scratched from lineup.

IMO, Chipper should just stop worrying about the WBC before he seriously injures himself and is out a majority of the year. This is one of the main reasons why most fans hope USA loses tonight.

According to multiple reports, Chipper has left the USA team. I'm assuming he's on his way back to Braves camp.

Andruw is sorry...for sucking.

Outfielder, now trying to catch on with the Texas Rangers, says he's sorry he 'didn't stand up to my reputation' last season in L.A.

This is shocking! Has the world ended yet?
