Starting Pitchers to Watch in 2007: Jeff Francis

Only 51 days until opening day.

Jeff Francis looks like a lefty on the cusp of a breakout year. He knocked his ERA down to 4.16 in his second full season in the majors. And the Bill James projection forecasts more of the same - if not better for 2007. He's become the most interesting part of what is turning into a solid rotation for the Colorado Rockies. If the bats come back around and spot a little more run support Francis will be a popular guy on the fantasy waiver wire. Personally, I'd consider drafting him.
