Time for a contest. I’m looking for a joke. The beginning of this joke must be: “What’s the difference between Jeff Francoeur and ________?” The blank may be filled by a person, place, thing, concept — whatever.

Francoeur has been pretty useless against power (high K and/or high BB pitchers): .281/.324/.376. He’s done a lot of damage against finesse pitchers: .293/.325/.469. And he’s been [...]
