As frustrated as I've been by his performance, I also feel for the guy. There's no doubt in my mind that he's trying everything he can to emerge from his slump. I heard that he spent his day off on Monday with his high school coach working on his hitting. I also heard that he's been hitting the cages
after the games this week. I'm not sure what else you can expect the guy to do.
That being said, I think this is a mental issue. I recently heard someone say that the game is 90% mental and the other 10% is all in your head. Perhaps some time in Mississippi will help Francoeur clear his head and get his swing back.
So, here's to wishing Frenchy the best of luck and a swift return to Atlanta!
