Player Profile: Jeff Francoeur

Jeff Francoeur is a top notch outfielder and the Starting Right Fielder for the Atlanta Braves. He has been working hard in the offseason and has added 10 to 15 lbs of muscle to help him improve on last years numbers. Francoeur has been hitting the ball pretty well to start off the 2008 season and I expect big numbers out of him.
I would say he should hit around .280 and about 35 homeruns while playing solid defense in Rightfield.

Francoeur, Johnson leads Braves

The Atlanta Braves took home a win Vs. the New York Mets with an 11-5 victory. Jeff Francoeur had a big night for the Braves collecting 3 hits and 3 runs batted in. While Kelly Johnson was not able to start for the 3rd straight game with a sore knee, Bobby Cox gave him the Opportunity to pinch hit and boy did he take advantage, with a 3-2 count against him Kelly Johnson he lauches one into the outfield seats for a Grand Slam which also helped the Braves pull away and take the first win in this series as the Friday night game was postponed until a later date due to rain.
Tim Hudson had a solid outing giving up 3 runs over 6 innings, while earning his first victory of the season.
