"I am actually trying to learn to walk a little bit. How about that? They've made adjustments to me and now I have to make adjustments. It's going to take some time to learn when they are going to let me beat them or make someone else beat them. I need patience."

"I'm a different hitter than Chipper Jones. He goes up looking for certain pitches to hit. I go up there looking for something over the plate and try to hit it hard."

"It's an honor playing for Bobby Cox."

"It's great to be a part of it and be a part of this tradition."

"Not many kids get a chance to play for the team they grew up watching. It's awesome, a dream come true."

"This is like a dream. I don't want it to ever end."

"To me, it's all about confidence."

"When we won the World Series in '95, I went nuts. I mean, that was my team."

"Everybody in baseball is talking about him." - Bobby Cox

"Frenchy is Captain Caveman. He will swing at anything. But he's making it work. He's getting better at making guys throw strikes." - Chipper Jones

"He is an All-American kid. He's well-spoken and he's mature beyond his year. He has a winner's quality deeper and broader than any young man I've ever seen." - John Schuerholz

"He's a horse. He is a game-breaker. He may go 0-for-3 but you feel real good with him up there in the ninth. He's a very good outfielder and a very accurate thrower. He runs a tad above average. He loves to play and is highly competitive." - Bobby Cox

"He's going to be a superstar, no doubt in my mind. He's going to be the next Dale Murphy in this city. If he continues to hit and play the outfield like he has so far, we may be talking about even more than that." - Chipper Jones

"He's still not walking, but he is giving you a great at-bat every time and that is fine. It doesn't matter if he ever walks. It doesn't bother me one bit." - Bobby Cox

"He's the real deal. He's going to be a star. He's a star already." - Tony LaRussa

"He's very impressive. He can do a lot of things. He's god in the outfield and he runs good. He's going to be a very good major leaguer." - Bobby Cox

"Intelligence, resilience, and adaptability-he's got all of those. Plus he's got this remarkable package of physical talent." - John Schuerholz

"Quite frankly, he's not the next Chipper Jones. He's the next Dale Murphy. They play the same position and they are built the same way. They have similar careers. Murph is one of the most beloved Braves of all time and Francoeur will be the same way." - Chipper Jones

"This kid has a chance to be the next face of the franchise. He's been remarkable since the day he was drafted out of high school." - John Schuerholz

"We just leave him alone. We're just going to let him ride. Why mess up a good thing." - Terry Pendleton
