Francis to Sign with the Royals


I just saw that according to MLB Blogs Jeff Francis is going to Kansas CIty Royals. http://mlb.mlblogs.com/. Good for him, I hope he does well. My hart still wanted to find a way to bring him back into the purple mix, but my head knew better. I personally think that now he has had time to recover from his shoulder injury he will be back to being a good pitcher.  However, as much as I would like to have him back he just does not fit right now. Just my opinon though.

 

Best of luck Jeff and thanks for all you did with the Rockies!!

Hope for the best

I would find it awesomely ironic is he went to the Royals and kind of resurrected his career after JDLR came here from KC and restarted his

Some hope?

I always was a fan of Francis.

I hope that he does well there. I have an autographed card of Jeff.

Hoping the Royals do well unless they’re playing the Rockies!
