It's not news that the Atlanta Braves are bad. And boy, are they bad. Their record is 14-35, and their team batting average is .232, 26th out of 30 teams. The best hitter on the Braves right now is Jeff Francoeur. Yes, that Jeff Francoeur. After a surprisingly solid 2015 for the Philadelphia Phillies, Frenchy is giving the Braves at least one positive thing about their offense. He's hitting .287/.319/.398 while playing nearly full time. Despite all of this badness, and the precariousness of Francoeur's resurgence, there is hope. While the Braves' lineup is currently a vast wasteland of players hitting under .260, there are a few players who could turn their seasons around and stop the Braves from losing so much.
