Among Francisco Rodriguez, Francisco Cordero, and Frank Francisco, the closer market was starting to get over-Franciscan. Very confusing. Dark-skinned, Dominican, fiery, jowly, broadchested, and round in the belly, I predict he won't get out of his first appearance without a comparison to Armando Benitez from Gary Cohen.

Frankie Franks will be the shit. Have a press conference, make him throw a jersey over a suit from Mens Warehouse. I dare you.

Not to be confused with Francisco Franco ... he's still dead.

$6m/yr x2yrs seems about right for a middling closer.

I like the deal on its own merits, but it makes me wonder if all these 1-2 year deals for 3-5 million (+5 million in arbitration to a Pelfrey) the Mets will hand out over the next 6 years could have just been minimum salary guys + Reyes instead.

Franciso has trouble getting to 50 innings in a season and won't give you an ERA less than 3.50. Meh.

The excitement of Jose seems somehow far away The glory of '06 is of another day I've been getting little hope from reporters in Manhattan And don't get me started about Jason Bay I'll give my heart to Frank Francisco From on the hill, Terry calls to him To be where little crowds watch a team devoid of stars The other fans all feel despair, I don't care My hopes now lie, with Frank Francisco Up on the mound, is where you'll be When I will look to you, Frank Francisco And games your arm will save for me

Is he a Franciscan or a Dominican? Different orders.

I'm going to go out on a limbsicle and guess that he's the first Met to ever save the first three games of the season. Certainly the first three games of is career here.

Frayed Knot Apr 08 2012 06:56 PM Re: Frank Francisco signs two year deal with Mets

He certainly had a better weekend than a lot of closers and other relievers in MLB this weekend. Lotta pens over the last few days weren't merely leaking oil but were spilling blood all over the field.

And I was right about Gary and the Benitez comparisons. Howie, too.
