Released by Baltimore
Francisco was released last week from his minor-league contract with the Orioles, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
ANALYSIS
After failing to win a reserve gig with the Orioles coming out of spring training, Francisco didn't report to a minor-league affiliate and will now be cleared to find a new employer. Francisco hasn't surfaced in the big leagues since 2014, when he slashed .220/.291/.456 over 320 plate appearances with the Blue Jays.

Francisco was waived late in spring training by Milwaukee and quickly picked up by Toronto. They initially used him when Adam Lind went on the disabled list and through the end of May, he batted .275/.365/.596 with 16 extra-base hits (and 44 strikeouts) in 126 plate appearances. Those numbers predictably fell off a cliff as he batted .185/.242/.371 the rest of the season, striking out 36.3% of the time. He can “play” both corners and can punish mistakes, but he has more holes in his swing than your favorite T-shirt. The Rays signed him in January to handle a similar role, and fantasy owners will once again turn to Francisco for cheap power as long as he's finding regular playing time.
