Veteran outfielder Jeff Francoeur is hanging up the cleats and going in to broadcasting, Fox Sports announced on Friday. Francouer will be joining the Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast broadcast teams and will serve as an analyst on “Braves LIVE!” beginning on Monday, June 5.
We’re guessing he’ll fit in just fine.
Still only 33 years old, Francoeur packed quite a bit into his 12-year MLB career. Perhaps he was never the standout talent many expected him to be, but he put up respectable numbers, hitting 261/.303/.416 with 160 homers, 281 doubles and 27 triples over 1481 major league games.
