he's going back to AA to work with manager Phillip Wellman. Isn't he the manager with the infamous tirade from last season?

Yes he is, it was complete with a grenade toss of the rosin bag. Hilarious.

That's gotta be tough for Francoeur. That's the second big name to be sent to a level lower than AAA this season, when Dontrelle got sent to single A.

I can't be the only one who thought he was terribly overrated even before this crash down to earth.

You are not, I never thought to high of Jeff.

He's talented but I always thought he played "wild". It seemed like a lot of the time he was out of control, that's just an opinion and certainly not why he was sent down to AA.
