Fixing Vision

Jeff Francoeur received a contact lens for his right eye to help with seeing the ball at night:

His vision in the eye has deteriorated since Francoeur was struck in the face by a pitch while squaring to bunt in a 2004 minor league game, and he thinks it might be a cause for the wide gap between his offensive statistics in day and night games.

He's hitting like an MVP during the day this season, and like Mario Mendoza at night. If this doesn't work, he might have to play for the Cubs.

Yeah, he and Teixeira can't hit under the moonlight it seems.

And FWIW, I know at least a few Braves fans who would trade Frenchy straight up for Matt Murton. :-)
