He is known to have a strong arm.Would the Sox be willing to trade to the Royals for him?Would you think he would be an upgrade to the current outfield?I don't think he would cost much to trade for.let me read your thoughts.I say yes because if teams don't run on your outfield that saves runs.

Among outfielders with at least 300 plate appearances last year, Francouer ranked 108th of 109 in WAR:

he is not very good and doesn't hit righties well which is what we are looking for at this point.

pass

Is he good at eating chicken, drinking beer, and playing video games?  If he is, that's a great Red Sox cluhouse member.

No thank you to Jeff Francouer.

Jeff can go play in Taiwan with Manny.   LOL

Jeff Francoeur should be called "The King of First Impressions." Go check out how well he hits on his first tour of duty with a new team. Atlanta, New York, Texas, KC.  First year anywhere, he hits.

And then bear in mind, he has one year left on his current deal..

I traded for him in 2k12 and he batted 194 that season... pass
