The funny thing is that this reminder that it's still quite early in the baseball season might contain more promise than pessimism. Franco has shown throughout his career that he can get hot quickly. His power numbers are still there, and he isn't striking out at an obscene rate. The Phillies are certainly hoping for more than .243/.285/.428, but Herrera has shown us that the big leagues are a feeling-out process; Perhaps some of his new approach will end up rubbing off on Franco.
