Could Francoeur still return to Braves?

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: Bring Frency back! I’m definitely on this train. Francoeur is that veteran presence that the Braves need on the bench and in the locker room. He’s only 33-years-old, but has been in the major leagues since 2005. There’s a chance Braves could sign him to a minor league deal (with most likely a spring training invite) and either have him waiting in Gwinnett or if he has a good ST, he could still be that 4th outfielder. The problem I see with signing Francoeur would be he’s locked at left or right field and unless an injury happens to Kemp and Markakis, he wouldn’t get a lot of playing time.
