What Do We Have Left to Believe In?
News Flash: Don't buy anything called "game-used". Turns out that term is COMPLETE BULLSHIT.

I Was Going to Comment, But Jeff Francoeur Sucks So Much It's Worth Its Own Post
Jeff Francoeur sucks. His On Base Percentage was .293. Now, for those of you averse to good scales of performance, OBP reads like BA when you subtract about 80 points.
People seem to like OPS. Frenchy's 2006 OPS? .742. League Average? LEAGUE AVERAGE? .775! When you said that a pool of 72 MLB players would be "kept", I for one did not anticipate any lower than average players.
If you like "made-up" stats (as opposed to stats that were handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai), Jeff Francoeur's VORP (that's value over replacement player, or how many runs he is good for over the typical AAA guy) was NEGATIVE 1.0. (-1.0). His EqA, which takes into account most facets of offense and reads on the scale of BA? .244. League Average? LEAGUE AVERAGE?? .260.
Did I mention that Frenchy is also a below average fielder? It's true!
That's right folks, Jeff Francoeur managed to hit 29 home runs, and be a below average hitter; in fact, a hitter that doesn't even belong in the majors. And Wright Stuff wants me to trade "young pitching wealth" for him.
What does this all MEAN in terms of fantasy? Well, it means that you can get some home runs from him, but no more than are exepected from a good corner outfielder (or bench player Marcus Thames, who hit 26 in 50 fewer games), plus you will suffer DRAMATICALLY in every other category. Frenchy's 103 RBIs will likely not continue if he can't not make an out more than 30% of the time. Jeff Francoeur is someone to take a chance on late in the draft or on the waiver wire. If he makes the roster of six, I will start bleeding from the eyes.
Jeff Francoeur doesn't try to steal much, but he sucks at that too.
