David O’Brien with the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that Jeff Francoeur spent the off-season adding 17 pounds of solid muscle, resulting in a “ripped” physique and a “country strong” body as Mark Kotsay so eloquently put it. Frenchy’s bio in the Braves game programs will now officially read:
Jeff Francoeur
6′4″ and 239 pounds of lean, grade A country strong meat
A lot of people with considerable knowledge about player development trends are saying some great things about Frenchy and he has even been tabbed as the top breakout candidate for 2008 by Baseball Prospectus. Jeff is a fantastic ball player and one of the most fan-friendly guys you’ll ever meet, so I hope he has a huge season this year and puts up some big-time numbers. It might seem a little too optimistic, but I feel a .300/30 home run season coming. Good luck Jeff!
