ssmarsh 26 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Francoeur had a nice 2011. Any chance he repeats that for 2012? Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisFarley 18 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 He seems to be a tease where he shows signs of turning the corner, but then just falling apart. Last year, I waited all season for him to regress, but he actually got better as the season wore on. Right now he is slated to be the #5 hitter between behind Butler/Hosmer and infront of Moustakas. I think Frenchy will have a lot of RBI opportunites. Will he repeat last year? I think he can. He is in a good situation. The kid was in his age 27 year last year, and I think the speed is not a mirage as he is super athletic. My projection: .275 avg, 80 R, 20-25 HR, 90-100 RBI, 15+ SB Link to post Share on other sites
kslackey 50 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think I'll agree with Chris, except I think he's going to hit for a bit higher average .285.295 with about 18-21 HR. I think he'll have a very similar year. Link to post Share on other sites
dzemens 3,027 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 If he can match either of the above two projections, based on where hes getting drafted he will come up big for any team that has him. Link to post Share on other sites
TexasBlueMoon 53 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 why is he being dropped in yahoo leagues? Link to post Share on other sites
RADickey4Prez 583 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 why is he being dropped in yahoo leagues? because he overachieved last year and sucks? Link to post Share on other sites
phizzics 1,007 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 why is he being dropped in yahoo leagues? Yahoo leagues consist of a lot of 12 teamers with 3 OF positions. That leaves a lot of talent on the FA list, and when a 3rd OF starts off slow or even mediocre, you can expect the merry-go-round to begin. It's especially bad when there are a lot of available players who start out hot. Francouer isn't a blue chip player by any means. He's had success, but a lot of failure too. I think he'll have a good season, and I don't think I'm ready to give up on anyone I drafted because it's too early to make a judgment about how they'll do over a whole season. (OK, that's not really true. I gave up on Mayberry) Right now we're seeing the floor, and it's really not that bad. His ceiling is still what you thought it would be when you evaluated him in March.

smokymonkey 132 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He's starting to show up on the wire in a lot of my 12-teamers. Even if he's not a 20/20 guy, which he still could be, he certainly could go 15/15, & those KC bats haven't quite woken up yet. His upside is greater than, say, Carlos Lee, who I own. I'm thinking about plucking him off the wire & sending out some lowballs in my deeper leagues. Anyone else tempted by him or am I just setting myself up to get burned by a career year?

monkeyzonSteroids 1,463 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 any signs that hes going to turn it around? Another player of to a putrid start.... Link to post Share on other sites
phizzics 1,007 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 any signs that hes going to turn it around? Another player of to a putrid start.... He won't turn it around until I get fed up and drop him. I'll let you know since it should be any day now. Seriously, I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that he's getting on track. I always try to make it past May 15th before I start shuffling players I drafted before the 20th round, but Francouer is just ahead of that arbitrary benchmark so he's definitely on the bubble.

spaghetti 271 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Can he bounce back like Gordon has done the past few weeks? 0 HRs/0 SBs / 2 CS. Seems to be getting in the groove, raising his avg from .228 to .247. Looks like a good buy low right now; remember when people started freaking out about Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites
My Dinner With Andre 5,805 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The Royals have faced a disproportionate amount of right handed starters this year. I would expect Frenchy's numbers to even out once the Royals start facing more southpaws. 16% of his plate appearances have been against lefties this year vs 25% last year Link to post Share on other sites
TheWash4President 23 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Last 30 days: 12/46 - 7 Runs - 1HR - 4 RBI - 0Steals - .261 Average. Is this what we need to expect? Any reason to think this might change? Currently hitting .185 vs Lefties. 0 for 3 in SB attempts. Last year he hit .305 against lefties... Link to post Share on other sites
96mnc 6,747 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 This guy may not be able to hit but I'd pay money to watch him throw. The dude has a hose. Almost threw out Parra from deep right field on a sac fly. Link to post Share on other sites
