Since coming to the Mets, Jeff Franceour (not pictured) has been one of their better hitters. Granted with this mix of minor leaguers and David Wright, it's not that hard, but still, Frenchy has been capable of generating actual runs. He also has a reputation for being somewhat aggressive at the plate. ESPN.com has a feature on their box scores that shows the total number of pitches a batter saw in a particular game. Perusing the box from last night's loss to the Diamondbacks you see that Frenchy went 0-4 with a strikeout and saw 6 pitches. That means in the three at bats he didn't strike out, he made an out on the first pitch, and in the other at bat he struck out on three pitches! For you fucking football fans, imagine a quarterback going 0-4 in pass attempts, where his 4th pass was an interception returned for a touchdown. That right there, that's not good, unless you play for the Lions, in which case it's pretty average.
