Frenchy seems to have divided the fan base of the Mets. Alot of fans love him and alot of fans don’t. I’m in the former, I liked the passion he brings to the game, I like that he has taken some of the media pressure off of David Wright and I like that he is committed to helping this team win. Francoeur showed last season that he was a gamer when he continued to play with a torn ligament in his thumb. The season was over, it didn’t matter if he played or not but he didn’t want to let the team and the fans down. Francoeur needs to work on patience at the plate. I don’t want him to lose his aggressiveness at the plate but he needs to select better pitches to offer at. He cannot swing a 3-0 pitch outside of the strike zone. If Frenchy plays with the same intensity he did last year and can become a bit more patient at the plate he is going to be a valuable member of the New York Mets in 2010. - link

Left field is a very deep position—though there are just a few elite options, like any other position, the four- and three-star tiers are overflowing with quality, while the one-star tier has more to do with playing time constraints then a lack of ability. If most of those players had the plate appearances of a two- or three-star outfielder, they would most likely qualify as well. This list goes 57 deep As for the previous rankings in the series, check out first basemen, second basemen, third basemen, shortstops, and catchers. Now, here are the changes to this year's ranking system: - link
