Wasn't he a fan favorite for much of his time as a Brave? Isn't their a possibility that the fans will cheer him for his work as a Brave? Obviously he didn't ask for a trade, so why would they boo him?

Because he sucked as a Brave.

(2) 100 RBI seasons + a gold glove in 3 full seasons with the Braves (not including his RC season where he had an OPS+ in the 120-130 range) for $400,000 a year....Not too bad.

Those 100 RBI seasons came when he was in a stacked Braves lineup.

They were so-so.
In 2006, the only other Brave to drive in 100 runs or more was Andruw Jones, and only one Brave on that team surpassed the 100 run plateau (Jones again).
In 2007, the only other Brave to drive in 100 runs or more was Chipper Jones (102), and only one Brave on that team surpassed the 100 run plateau (Jones again).
I would argue that Jeff provided a good amount of real production for the Braves from 2005-2007, while drawing a very small salary. He was a great fielder to boot.

I'd be embarrassed for Atlanta if they boo him. Last two years have sucked, but he did a ton of stuff for the community. I'll be at two games this weekend, most likely won't cheer, but I definitely will not boo.

I think he'll get mostly cheers at least in his first AB.
I want no part of any booing of Jeff Francoeur

i think the better question is when will they start booing Church?

Francoeur is the last of 10 players (Joe Carter did it twice) with 100 RBIs in a season, but an OPS+ of less than 90: http://www.baseball-reference.com/play- ... areit/JT2Y
That's all I got for now.

He had a monster road trip before he got traded. Mostly singles, but he did have like 10-12 HR at the end of May last year. He's a good player.
