I'm late to this party, but how the hell do you guys not list Jeff
Francoeur when talking about the best $1 buys in this draft. He's
.286-19-84-22 with 75 runs.<br>
<br>
Frenchy also belongs in the conversation for being involved in the
season's most lopsided trade -- dealt by me to the Daddies
straight-up for Fausto "The Devil" Carmona.<br>
<br>
Sigh.<br>

If you continue to talk out of turn I am sending you to
detention. Our class discussion is about $1 to $3 draft picks.
When I get to the $7 players, I will call on you--if you behave
yourself and raise your hand. <br>
And note that your Avila, at $5 more than Salty Dog, hit his
19 home runs in 437 AB; Salty belted his 16 in only 341 AB. For
two bucks, that ain't shabby. Jeffrey knew what he was doing when
he drafted this young slugger.<br>
Now, if you're prepared to sit still, we can continue with our
class. Or do you need your ADD meds, young man?<br>
