PrintThe affable and charismatic Jeff Francoeur has been the focus of many a feature by the Mets' stable of beat writers. Our right fielder of the present apparently makes himself available to any and all interviewers, and has done wonders to improve the clubhouse atmosphere this spring. Here is the Francoeur Spring Training Hub, documenting all the write-ups/blurbs about the lovable lug over the last few months.
- Carroll Rogers/Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Francoeur Takes His Father On "Trip Of A Lifetime"
- Brian Costa/Star-Ledger: Francoeur Wins "Good-Guy" Award From NY Media
- Kevin Kernan/New York Post: Mets' Francoeur Says He'll Hit 27 Home Runs This Season
- David Lennon/Twitter: Francoeur on negativity around #Mets this offseason: "That's the way you shut everybody up - by winning ballgames."
- Eric Pfahler/TCPalm: Mets' Manager Manuel Likes What He Sees So Far In Francoeur, Bay
- David Lennon/Newsday: Francoeur Feels Confident After Working With Straw
- Adam Rubin/Daily News: U.S.-Canada Rivalry Grows In Mets Clubhouse
- Marty Noble/MLB.com: Francoeur Armed With Unique Skill

- Gary Long/Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Baseball Fun Again For Francoeur

Thanks for collating these
The one about basestealing is bizarre. Atlanta ’don’t teach basestealing’!? I can’t see Jeff seriously upping his count though. You seem to either need good foot speed or an excellent basestealing mind, neither of which he has demonstrated thus far.
Maybe Jerry should have told him to try to take more pitches instead of bases
It’s unlikely Franceour will steal bases at a high enough percentage to be of any benefit

Its so hard to hate this guy
He’s like that dumb friend who is super nice but took all those remedial classes in high school.
I completely agree.
As a baseball player, I don’t like a lot of what he does. As a person, as the cannon said, he’s a lovable lug.

Gil Hodges IS a Hall of Famer.
