ROAR! Juan Francisco called up
"I didn't think I was coming up," said Francisco, who was assigned uniform No. 64. "After the game, he went to my locker and said, 'I have to talk to you before you leave.' [He said,] 'Congratulations you're going up.'"
Best of luck to Juan. With 3B blocked, the article states that the team may try him in LF over the winter. The ideal situation might be that Rolen starts out hot next year and we flip him for pitching or a shortstop, then slide Francisco or Frazier into third.
