the worst...

I'm hearing that Julio Franco just signed a 2-year deal with the hated METS.

I hate to see Julio go period.

Likewise. He's been my favorite MLB player since he joined the Braves in 2001.

the braves shoulda had him locked up... I guess they think Laroach is ready for full time 1st base. But still Julio is an excellent hitter for what he would cost us.

[drzachary]

I think he had been signing 1-yr, 1-mil contracts each year for a while. So the Mets (desperate for a 1B) locked him up for 2. Can't blame him (or at least his agent) for wanting that. But man, I hate the Mets!

not to wish ill on any particular player. But they have bad karma all around them. Every time they go out and try to powerbuy a team, it bites them in the ass. PLayers will either have career low years or get hurt or something. I predict it again this season.
