Tough decision really. Play for a Division Title, or appease the 13 year old girls that coo over Frenchie. I know what I would do, but then again I am not running the Braves.
Update:
The Braves Show.com has learned the Atlanta Braves have sent struggling outfielder Jeff Francoeur to Double-A Mississippi. Richmond outfielder Jason Perry will be called up to the big leagues Friday
The Braves Show: Francoeur to AA
a team official at least confirmed there has been discussion about sending Francoeur to the Minors to rediscover his lost swing, there was no indication that this was an imminent possibility.
One primary reason that the Braves haven't shipped Francoeur back to the Minors is the potential backlash they might receive from their fans, who have remained faithful to No. 7
"I'd like to see a little more of the enthusiasm he showed early in his career," Chipper Jones said. "He's really down on himself right now and I think he'll come out of it a little faster if he doesn't take the game as seriously as he is."
"This is really the first time he's ever struggled," said Braves All-Star catcher Brian McCann, who has been Francouer's best friend since they were 12 years old. "Everybody goes through slumps," McCann said.
"You have to try to catch what you're doing wrong mechanically before it snowballs. That's why this game, to me, is the toughest sport to play. It's every day."
