Francis Hurts Rotation Chances - Takes Loss in 12-2 blowout
The Cincinnati Reds (10-15) threw out what could be considered the minor league team against the Texas Rangers (7-16) and it showed.

Despite wanting to put this game out of memory here is a look at the usual, Good, Bad and Notables from...

New York Mets Showing Interest In Starting Pitcher Jeff Francis
You can correct me if I’m wrong on this, but didn’t the New York Mets say that they were not adding any more pieces to the 25-man roster? If so, what is up with the report that they are interested in Jeff Francis? I suppose the team could sign him to a minor league deal, but why would Jeff Francis – coming off of a useful season with the Kansas City Royals ...

The Post-Injury Jeff Francis and DIPS
It’s probably the Canadian in me talking, but I have always been a Jeff Francis fan. The University of British Columbia product was selected 9th overall by the Colorado Rockies in the famed Moneyball draft, and rewarded the team with 11.8 WAR in his first five big league seasons before succumbing to the injury bug.

Cubs show interest in Jeff Francis
The Cubs were linked to free agent lefty Paul Maholm late last week. The newest rumor has Chicago interested in Jeff Francis, another free agent lefty. Francis, originally drafted by Colorado, pitched for the Kansas City Royals in 2011. Francis went just 6-16 for KC with an uninspiring 4.82 ERA and 1.43 WHIP. He won’t make anyone run out to buy an authentic Cubs jersey...

Morosi: Pirates interested in Jeff Francis
The Pirates are one of the teams interested in free agent lefty Jeff Francis, says Jon Morosi, and now we have our first nugget of depressing information from Dallas! I actually thought Francis would've been worth a flier last year, when there was some uncertainty as to how he was going to recover from his shoulder surgery and there was a chance that he'd be able to recover...
