One of the best performing (recent) callups to the Majors in the last month, is a guy named Jeff Francoeur,
who is now the Braves every-day right fielder. I’m no Braves fan
by any stretch, but after his “en fuego” first week or
so, I had to pick up as a free agent in my fantasy baseball
league. Whats strange is, I had a dream last night where I
was at a sports bar with my college friends, and as we were walking
out, I saw a guy who looked like John Smoltz (and he was wearing
a Braves jersey!) albeit with different facial hair. I made the
comment, “how about that Jeff Francoeur guy?” and he
laughed. I woke up today and the first thing I did (well,
not when I woke up at 6am, more like when I woke up for real at
noon) was check my fantasy baseball stats. Francoeur’s
first at bat today? Home run.
