Comments on: Is Frenchy Fried? http://www.bravesblast.com/2008/06/30/is-frenchy-fried/ Analysis of our favorite Atlanta Braves.

With so many people offering input (Chipper, TP, his dad, etc) - how does he select which data to listen to and which information to ignore. I'm a little concerned at this point - I think he's gotta be more patient and hack at fewer pitches - but how does one change that mindset? I hope Francoeur gets it back on track here.

In short, I think Jeff will start hitting and playing better overall once he gets his head back on straight. I can see into the guy's pysche and I can't offer any advice for discect his swing. All I know is that ability and mental toughness are two separate things. If it's no longer a question of ability (which we know is not the case, he's young and we all know he CAN hit) then it's in his head. When you're in a slump everything you hit is ano out and it grates at you. I could be very wrong but I think he'll get his act together sometime this season. (God I hope I'm not wrong).

That being said, he is, as mentioned above, an impatient and inconsistent hitter, and it gets to a point where even his amazing arm cant make up for his shortcomings at the plate. Plus, with all of the fruit in the Braves farm system in the outfield (Heyward, Hernandez, Schaffer, the list goes on) we would be almost be overstocked in the OF (though that's better than too little). Back to my origional statement, the money he'll eventually get may not be worth the pain I go through watching him flail at every pitch (especially with runners on), BUT... if he can manage to bring his paitience up about 14 notches, I would have to change my stance.
