Prospect Retro on Our Former Top Prospect

Just thought some people might be interested in seeing this.

Here's a fun fact:
Milledge - .313 wOBA
Francoeur - .309 wOBA

And, while this is arbitrary, since Milledge's terrible April and Francoeur's excellent April, their slash lines look like this:
Milledge - .288/.369/.404/.773
Francoeur - .251/.291/.354/.645

Essentially, we gave Milledge up for Francoeur and two years of Brian Schneider. Lovely.

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson

It's certainly less certain than in the scenario above.

no Francoer is a much better clubhouse guy

Can you prove that?

Do you know that from first hand experience, from all your days in the clubhouse with both guys?

Neither are good, but given the choice, I’ll take the guy with the 9% BB% (6.6% career) over the guy with a 6.1 BB% (4.8% career)

francouer walks by month

april – 9
may – 5
june – 3
july – 2 so far, somehow

also, 6/19 are intentional

stats, they are seriously never in Francoeur's favor

2010: Year of the Grission

And a year of Ryan Church

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

more like a half year

stats, they are seriously never in Francoeur's favor

Let's look at the ZiPS wOBA projections

Church: .331
Milledge: .325
Francoeur: .320
Church has been absolutely terrible this year (-0.5 WAR in 54 games). LMillz and Frenchy both have 0.3 WAR this season.

Where's Sam Page?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Milledge sucks.

I was going to mention how at least Milledge is young and all, but...

Francoeur is only a year older than him. I knew Francoeur was young, but that put things in perspective, a little. At least Lastings has a cooler name. And, Jerry would have one more gangsta on the team. I don’t see Jeff Francoeur as very gangsta.
