he is going from a very bad hitters park, to a very good one. - groiny Nov 11, 12:01
he is priced as a prospect, which for them, is a bonus. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 11:59 6
- No, he's in year 5 of arbitration now. He is expecting to go to about $4-$5 million for 2010. That's why they dumped him. - David Nov 11, 12:01 5
  - 4-5 million is a lunch in Boston, in terms of payroll. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 12:02 4
    - $4-$5 million for a guy with .740 and .729 OPS the past two seasons is madness. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:03 3
      - 2 years removed from an .870 OPS, and is about to turn 26. - groiny Nov 11, 12:07 2
        
        Hey, if we are overlooking a couple of bad years because a guy is young, Francoeur looks good again. -- nm - David Nov 11, 12:17 1
        
        Hermida in his bad years had a higher OBP than Frenchy. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 12:19
