Conversely, Francoeur draws more walks at night then he does during the day. Thus, I would wager that he isn’t having much of an issue picking up the ball at different times of the day.All that being said, it appears as if Francoeur does have a noticable difference between night and day and this is clearly not a new occurence. This, despite David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constituion using 2007 as his sample when asserting,If the vision is causing problems in night games, it’s a recent development. Last season he hit better at night .301 with 16 homers and a .466 slugging percentage in 116 night games, and .273 with three homers and a .390 slugging percentage in day games. Clearly 2006 and 2005 did not make a difference? As Carroll mentions, it will be interesting to keep note of players whom have interesting day/night splits. I have always been a proponent that certain hitters do in fact have superior warm v. cool weather performances, suggesting it to be natural for a player who grew up in Florida, Texas, California, etc to struggle with the elements we frequent early in the baseball season up north.

Let’s keep track of how Francoeur does for the rest of the season. Since Monday, Francoeur has played in 2 night games and 1 day game, here is his line thus far: Day – 333/500/333 Night – 286/286/286 Too early to tell, obviously!
