You forgot a few categories like character, honesty and integrity.
I don't know about Bryce but Jeff is pretty high in all 3 of those.
Braves gave up on him and he sold more seats at Turner than most players. They should have given up on Cox when he brought in Charlie Leibrandt that year that cost them. |

| Agree with you on Francoeur, TOTALLY disagree with you on Bobby. One of the greatest managers of all times. Loved by the players, management and fans. Plus it was awesome watching him get thrown out of games :) |

Harper is batting .313 w/10 HR's and 21 RBI's
Francoeur is batting .234 w/1 HR and 9 RBI's
Francoeur is a GREAT citizen no doubt. Not sure there's any indication that Harper isn't.
I'd take either on my team. |

Harper seems to have trouble staying healthy during the regular season, but he had a pretty good postseason.
Francoeur is a Minor League Free Agent. He would have been as good as anybody else the Braves had coming off the bench this year. Better defensively. He's got to have something left if there is a hitting coach out there that can get through to him. |

so you are a big fan I am guessing? I like his skills, but attitude counts just a little. Maybe when he grows up he can be a HERO to our youth..right now? not so much! I'm rootin for him though. really, I'd like to see kids and their dads look up to him and say they want to be like him.
My kid better never act like this guy does....Why do you think he gets boo'd by Braves fans? Yet Ryan Howard NEVER gets boo'd
Braves fan LOVE Ryan Howard and he Killed us for years!
Somehow I wont be surprised at this rate if something really bad "outside" of baseball happens with your boy......I dont like them, but I'd say the odds are high that he will mess up big time and be a bad mark for his TEAM.......sure some folks will love him no matter what, but lots of Folks love Hillary too.....uuhhhmmm |

He's not my boy, but I do like watching him play even though he's on our division rival. Has he ever done ANYTHING for you to say that the odds are high that he will mess up off the field? This is no Johnny Football scenario.
There have been a lot of doubters and probably even more people hoping he would fail. He's done the opposite to date.
And I loved Francoeur when he was here and I'm glad he has bounced back again even though it is for a rival. I wish he would have listened to some hitting coaches along the way. At the end of his tenure here he would come up and I would say to my son, "He's going to swing at Ball 1." As often as not I'd be right. It's too bad because it could have been so much better.
I like Ryan Howard, too.
Do not like Hillary.

Lets just say, he seems to be a weee bit of a Hot Head...........One of the first things he did was disrespected the Braves by sliding his foot over the Logo when heading to the batter's box. I guess Papplebon is a bit of a Hot head too(hes a closer so he has an excuse/pass), but How much fun did you have watching Harper's response?
What did Pap say to him? Why would he say Anything? |

It started last week when Pap nailed a batter on purpose for the supposed slight of watching a home run ball in the air too long. Pitcher nails batter for slight, yeah it happens, teammate (Harper) goes on the record and says it was a bull move....oh boy, there is going to be trouble there.
After Harper's pop up to left Pap said something along the lines of "Do you think you are too good to run out a pop-fly?"...which is true, Harper doesn't follow through with basic protocol. HOWEVER, Pap made contact and Harper was just saying words, so while I condone the sentiment I can't agree with how the 11 year vet went about explaining to the new kid on the block what is expected in MLB. |
