FACTS/ FLUKES: Francisco, Freeman, Chacin, Ruggiano, Wheeler

Francisco finds opportunity ... Juan Francisco (1B/3B, MIL) was supposed to inherit the majority of post-Chipper Jones ABs at third base in Atlanta. But after some initial struggles, he was released in late May. Francisco quickly found new life in Milwaukee and has been playing regularly at the corners with better results.
