Having finally had a chance to watch Ben Francisco swing the bat, let me be the first to say that Ben has Coco Crisp Popeye style of forearms, but with a bit more power.

Ben yanked on that home run pitch when the pitch was almost on top of him, and that is something Coco was good at doing when he was hitting .300 for Cleveland.

Having two fast guys on the bench really opens up the opportunities for the Tribe, especially when both have home run power as well and therefore make such logical late inning replacements on the days they aren't starting.

Both Ben and Franky have been instrumental in winning several late inning close games in the past few weeks.
