I’ve posted once before about how I like Joe Posnanski. Today’s reading is a nice transcript of the arbitration hearing for Jeff Francoeur:
Arbitrator: Well, of course, I’ve heard of both of those players. This seems quite compelling to me. What do you Atlanta guys say about that?
Atlanta Braves: He sucks.
Arbitrator: I see.
Atlanta Braves: We can show you numerous charts that prove his suckiness but basically you can trust us on this. He sucks.
Francoeur People: Yeah? Well, if he sucks so much, how come he has played 86 more games than any other Braves player since July 7, 2005?
Arbitrator: Excellent question.
Atlanta Braves: It’s mostly because we kind of suck too.
