I'm sure that David has already seen this quote from the AJC, but for other Frenchy-lovers:

From an interview with Jeff Francoeur:

>Q: Do you think the Mets want you to be any >different?
>
>A: No, they�re not there for my on-base percentage. >It was great to hear [manager] Jerry Manuel in a >team meeting say, "I don�t care about average. I >care about scoring runs, driving in runs and >preventing runs." That�s the type of guy I am.
>

Hooray for Frenchy! Don't ever change!

I wonder if Frenchy understands that to score runs, you typically have to be on base? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 10:07 5
- If being on base percentage is so important, why don't they put that on the scoreboard? (nm) - Jeffy F Aug 17, 10:09 4
  - I swear to God someone posted that very quote once as proof that he's maturing as a hitter. - David Aug 17, 10:49 2
    - Proof of what now? - musubi Aug 17, 10:54 1
      - He posted the entire paragraph, which had other stuff that sounded better before it ended with that. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:56
  - Errr, -"being" (nm) - musubi Aug 17, 10:12
I hear Manuel is big on this new-fangled strategy called the "Hit-And-Run". -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 10:05 3
- My favorite bit of his is insinuation that Ryan Church wasn't tough enough during the Mets mishandling of Church's concussion last year. - musubi Aug 17, 10:08 2
  - Semi-related, I'm in love with Church's plate discipline. It's a complete reversal of fortune from Frenchy. -- nm - David Aug 17, 10:48 1
    - I never loved his bat (it's decent, but really just ok), but I *loved* his pre-concussion defense. Loved. - musubi Aug 17, 10:56
