My Extended Take on Frenchy
One game in the books in the Jeff Francoeur era in New York and so far so good. More than the two hits (both a little cheap) and the two RBIs he contributed in last night’s win was simply his freshness in what was rapidly becoming a stale situation. Let’s be clear, this guy is [...]

Last night saw Jeff Francoeur and Ryan Church step onto the field in their respective new team colors. Francoeur, who admittedly was a little stressed about starting to play for his once division rivals, calmed his nerves early with a decent night at the plate for the Mets. He got his chance early in the [...]

The Braves and Mets swapped outfielders on Friday, as Atlanta sent struggling right fielder Jeff Francoeur to the Big Apple for the equally struggling Ryan Church.
The clubs make this trade essentially hoping that they can each find success turning the still-promising young outfielders around. Francoeur has struggled the past two years, but the Mets must [...]

The Dugout: The Most Even Trade Ever
by Jon BoisFiled under: Braves, Mets, NL East, The Dugout, MLB Trade Deadline
As we reported on Friday, the Braves traded an under-performing outfielder, Jeff Francoeur, to the Mets for an under-performing outfielder, Ryan Church. My theory? The general managers were just bored. Saturday's Dugout is after the jump.The Dugout: The Most Even Trade Ever originally appeared on Fanhouse...
NEW TEAMMATES FRANC-LY THRILLED
The scouting report on Jeff Francoeur: High energy, aggressive hitter, great teammate. Those were some of the words used about Francoeur inside the Mets clubhouse last night after general manager Omar Minaya traded Ryan Church to the Braves for...
Jeff Francoeur’s New York Debut
Frenchy’s Debut: Fran-Tana! That catchy phrase, of course, is courtesy of the New York Post. In Jeff Francoeur’s debut for the Mets at Citi Field yesterday, he went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. This “blockbuster” still has the worthwhile feel of swapping Tito Santana’s elbow pad for a bucket of empty Rolling Rocks, but you’d [...]
Frenchy Is Peachy, But ...
Mike Bordick also started his Mets career well.I was getting into the whole Jeff Francoeur thing too ... "Hey, two for four! Two RBI's! Look like line drives in the box score! Frenchy's always smiling! Maybe I was wrong!" Then I was reminded of Mike Bordick hitting a home run on the first pitch he ever saw as a Met before he fell off the face of the planet.So not...
What the Ryan Church-Jeff Francoeur Trade Really Means For Atlanta
So far, the analysis of today's trade of outfielders between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets has focused solely on the players exchanged—Ryan Church and Jeff Francoeur.
Defensively, as some other writers have noted, the trade is a wash. Francoeur has the better arm, but Church has a slight edge on range.
Both have fallen out of favor with their managers, for different...

Rockies becoming more picky in trade talk
DENVER — An outfielder was traded at Coors Field today. And it was a right fielder. But it wasn’t Ryan Spilborghs. The Braves gave up on hometown kid Jeff Francoeur, shipping him to the rival Mets for outfielder Ryan Church. Atlanta has been looking to unload Frenchy for weeks, tired of his impatience and inability [...]
Frenchy for Church
The Mets traded Ryan Church to the Atlanta Braves for Jeff Francoeur. Take it away, George Takei!
I guess the Mets aren’t actually interested in being in the NL East race long enough to choke it away, so they swapped a perfectly good outfielder for a perfectly bad outfielder. Take a look at both players’ Wins [...]
