Nov 4 RF Jeff Francoeur underwent surgery Nov. 2 in his hometown of Atlanta to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb. Dr. Gary Lourie performed the procedure. Francoeur is expected to be fully recovered in a month and be unaffected in spring training. Yahoo! Sports


Nov 2 Francoeur had surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb on Monday, the NY Post reports.

Recommendation: He's expected to be ready for the start of spring training. Francoeur doubled his power output after getting traded to the Mets last season, but he's still struggling to draw walks and his plate discipline went unimproved. At his best, Francoeur looks like a .280/.315/.470 type player and now that he's approaching 3,000 at-bats for his career, it may be fair to assume that improved plate discipline will simply never happen.
