Despite rumors and some fans' wishful thinking after the departure of Andruw Jones, it's not likely the Braves will move Jeff Francoeur from right field to center to fill the void. John Schuerholz, the Braves' general manager for 16 seasons, until last week when he took over as president, said the team needs to shore up its starting pitching and to replace Andruw Jones in center field. But Francoeur, with his five-tool repertoire, isn't a candidate for the position. "We need to find someone to play center field, but it won't be this fellow," Schuerholz said, referring to Francoeur. "I know that's something a lot of people have been talking about, but I don't think we'll do that." -- Times-Herald
