Mets' Frenchy avoids arbitration: Outfielder Jeff Francoeur and the Mets have agreed to a $5 million, one-year contract. The deal announced Tuesday gives Francoeur a raise of more than $1.6 million. Francoeur batted .280 overall with 15 homers and 76 RBIs last year, when he made $3,375,000. He is eligible for free agency after the 2011 season. From The Sports Xchange notes: Hitting coach Howard Johnson visited Francoeur in early January to gauge Francoeur's recovery from left thumb surgery. Francoeur had been cleared to begin swinging a bat early this month. He appears to have recovered from the procedure to repair a torn ligament, which required a transplant from his right wrist.

Fantasy Analysis
Francoeur has had big years before, but he was in the Braves' doghouse before a July trade to the Mets that revived his run-producing potential. He hit .311 with 10 homers, 41 RBI and 40 runs in 75 games with the Mets -- mostly with the torn thumb ligament. Frenchy looks like a classic case of change of scenery, because the spacious CitiField had adverse effects on everyone else with the Mets last year. The word is, a big reason they signed Bay, is right-handed pull hitters play in this park, so Frenchy could be due for a career year. It might also surprise you he is merely 26, ready to start his prime. Francoeur is a breakout candidate numbers-wise, but he also qualifies as a sleeper because he could be had with a late-round pick or a $1 bid in most drafts at this point.
