My friend Lang Whitaker had an excellent column on the Braves last week on www.SI.com - with an interesting linked article detailing Francoeur's season putting him on track to rank close to worst all-time in outs produced at the plate. But for that to happen, JF's BA will have to decrease...down below .240. Instead, in the last few weeks his average has risen from around .240 to over .260. Leading baseball in clutch hits, and still on track for 35/100...not bad for a young guy who should be in AAA this year.
His ROY rival Ryan Howard is impressive...but Howard played college ball, as well as working his way up through the minors...including AAA, the level JF skipped.
Wednesday matchup...Clemens vs. Maddux...most victories ever by two starting pitchers.
ARod's throwing problems...has no one mentioned how he's throwing sidearm? I remember watching him warm up at short, playing for the Rangers...with perfect form...pointing with his left arm, stepping, and making a strong OVERHAND throw.
