Jeff Francoeur's run in Atlanta has ended...I can't say I'm too upset about it...he's a product of the shining athletic star of Gwinnett County high schools (Parkview) and I've always sort of rooted against him for it...I'm a product of DeKalb County schools where we weren't afforded a lot of the same things that kids from that side were...such as...large enough facilites where you don't need trailers...swimming pools at the school...our OWN football stadium...competent teachers...etc etc etc etc...so when I saw this guy from GA get drafted by the Braves and be in the majors within 2 years of said draft...I started hating...he came out like gangbusters his first season and the future looked bright for him...but it became clear during his second season that the Braves had rushed him to the majors too fast and he lacked the needed seasoning to be an everyday player...it all came to a head this season when with his avg mired in the dumps and his run production suffering he was sent to the bench by Bobby Cox...and now here we are...mere days later he is no longer in Atlanta...will I continue to hate him?...probably...do I wish him well with turning his career around...ok sure...good luck Frenchy
