HBT favorite Jeff Francoeur was released by the Indians
in spring training and was picked up on a minor league deal
by the Padres. He’s been playing at El Paso all season
and he’s hitting a Francoeurian .277 with a low OBP and
some decent pop. It’s what he’s always done, really,
and given that his parent club has a pretty lackluster offense,
it wouldn’t be shocking if he was patrolling right field
in San Diego sometime this season.
But for now, he’s making the most of it.
And part of making the most of it is as El Paso’s mopup man.
He’s pitched five and a third innings over six appearances,
allowing four hits and three earned runs with three walks and
four strikeouts. Not great, but not nothing. He is said to have
a fastball in the low 90s and a serviceable slider.
That all comes in this excellent New York Times story by Tyler Kepner,
who features both Francoeur and former major leaguer Jason Lane.
Himself an outfielder at one time but now a full-time pitcher and
frequent pinch hitter. The angle on the story is how Francoeur is
pitching for fun and Lane is pitching for his career. Or at least to
prolong it. There are some good observations in there too about how,
in this day of 13-man pitching staffs and very thin major league
benches, a swingman like Lane or possibly even Francoeur could
become less of a novelty and might actually serve a useful purpose
on a big league club.
Great story. Check it out.
球隊的第四棒,雷射肩,還可以消化局數。
有Low 90s的速球,還有一個可用的滑球。
粉酷雙刀流!!
