Oh Frenchy face palm

Jeff Francoeur's currently playing for the El Paso Chihuahuas, the Padres' Triple-A affiliate, and he was recently the victim of a truly funny month-long prank at the hands of his teammates.

The team convinced Francoeur that Chihuahuas pitcher Jorge Reyes was deaf. This prank somehow lasted a month. Occasionally, Reyes would unintentionally tip off that he wasn't deaf, like talking to teammates after a game, but Francoeur didn't catch on.

First baseman Cody Decker put together a short film on the whole joke. Many of Francoeur's teammates call him an idiot.

"How can somebody be this stupid?" Brooks Conrad asks in wonder. Francoeur's still stunning people, even in the minors.

Be sure to stick around for the end, when Frenchy finds out he's been had.

Perfect.

Thats classic, baseball players have so much down time. Id love to be a third base coach for some AA club or something

Pretty funny. No wonder he squandered his talent. He is a nimrod

and yet he still has more power than any current royal on our MLB roster.

"Jeff Francoeur has also been the victim of a career long prank where he believes every pitch is a strike"

LMAO

That's too much truth for an early Sunday afternoon......

:facepalm: LMAO

LMAO

Frenchy once pranked the Royals into thinking he was an everyday right fielder for over 2 years.

That's a much greater prank.

What an offensive team name.

Thread win

Royals had a real idiot on their team the whole time.

Based on the way he plays baseball, I'm not surprised at all that he was this dumb.

This is awesome.
