Marty Noble has more:
His latest performance, two hits in the Mets’ 5-1 victory Sunday, put his batting average with the Mets at .300 in 100 at-bats. Francoeur has played in 26 games since being acquired from the Braves for Ryan Church and has gone hitless in merely seven of them — and never in more than two straight. He drove in 19 runs in his first 20 games after the trade. And he has provided the aggressive and strong-armed defense that Mets had anticipated.
The Mets got Francouer as a result of John Ricco’s leg work. Good job. As a result, they have a young, athletic rightfielder who’s game is suited for Citi Field. Noble’s numbers indicate he’s a run producer as well. Going into next season, it’s nice to know that it’s a position that’s settled going into 2010.
