The Braves will move Joe Simpson to mostly radio with Jeff Francoeur becoming lead TV analyst.
The easy reaction is that it was more than time for Simpson to move on. He wasn’t ever very good at his job, but he had become curmudgeonly and annoying in the past couple years. He’s a dinosaur; he has no place on television. I would imagine he’s moving over to mostly replace Don Sutton.
Not sure how I feel about Frenchy. He’s one of the best among the roving guys, but is he deserving of the lead TV color spot?
