Latest News
| Jeff Francoeur could be on way out |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6/15/13) When Jarrod Dyson comes off his rehab assignment and rejoins the Royals roster, the team will have a decision to make regarding the status of outfielder Jeff Francoeur, the Kansas City Star reports Saturday.
The Royals will be an outfielder heavy and Francoeur and rookie David Lough seem to be the best options to send out.
Francoeur is batting .212 this season and has gone just 2 for 14 (.143) in June with five strikeouts.

(5/21/13) Royals outfielder Jeff Francoeur collected three hits Monday.

| Jeff Francoeur to lose playing time |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/14/13) Royals outfielder Jeff Francoeur will attempt to work through his slump on the bench.
Royals manager Ned Yost said he would start Jarrod Dyson in center and Lorenzo Cain in left while Francoeur attempts to get through his struggles. Francoeur is hitting just .226/.266/.322 in 118 at-bats this season. Both Dyson and Cain have gotten off to strong starts, and Francoeur may have trouble finding his way back into a starting role.

| Manager denies platoon deal for Jeff Francoeur |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(5/11/13) After outfielder Jeff Francoeur returned to the starting lineup Saturday for just the second time in the past four games, Royals manager Ned Yost emphasized that the struggling veteran is not in a platoon situation. Francoeur entered the game against the Yankees hitting just .125 with one extra-base hit during the month of May, and had sat in favor of Jarrod Dyson in two of the previous three games.
"It’s not a platoon. Frenchy is going to play (Sunday) against (Hiroki) Kuroda," Yost told the Kansas City Star. "Whoever starts is the starter. It changes day to day for no reason other than that this guy is hot or because of the matchup."

| Well, that was predictable. One year after shocking the baseball world with a 20-20 season after slipping into obscurity with the Mets and Rangers, Francoeur returned to his free-swinging, groundball-hitting, out-making ways in 2012. Truth be told, the only one of those three that changed for him in 2011 was the out-making, and an abnormally high BABIP was mostly responsible for that. So now that everything's back to normal, the outlook for Francoeur is the same as it was two or three years ago. Yes, he has enough power that he'll run into a few homers -- and for stretches, he'll do it consistently enough that he's worth using in mixed leagues -- but in the end, his swing-at-anything approach makes him a sitting duck for pitchers who do their homework and condemns him to a pathetically low on-base percentage. Francoeur is worth a look as a cheap source of power in AL-only leagues, but holding out hope for a rebound season is probably a waste of time. (Updated 12/11/12) |
