We can narrow down the possible replacements for Andruw Jones a bit more today thanks to a report in the Newnan Times-Herald.

"We need to find someone to play center field, but it won't be this fellow," Schuerholz said, referring to Francoeur. "I know that's something a lot of people have been talking about, but I don't think we'll do that."

Many people have been tossing around the idea of Brandon Jones taking over in right and Francoeur moving to center, the position he came up through the minors at. He probably would have been a fine center fielder, however his arm is much more valuable in right and Brandon Jones' would have been mediocre at the position. I'd put my money on either Mike Cameron or Brent Lillibridge to have the job out of spring training next year.
