Maybe Hampton should play RF

I haven't checked these stats thoroughly, but a quick glance bears them out (via a commenter on DOB's Braves blog):  

Francoeur’s SLG 2008: .357

Hampton’s career SLG: .357

Hampton has outslugged JF’s 2008 number 4 times in his career: 1999 (.432), 2001 (.582), 2002 (.516), and 2005 (.480). This year he’s slugging .667, so far.

Hampton has had a higher OPS than JF’s 2008 season number (.647), 5 times: 1998 (.676), 1999 (.806), 2001 (.891), 2002 (.869), and 2005 (.826).

I have not had the heart to put the research in, but at the pace he is going, at the end of the year Frenchy may put up one of the worst offensive years ever for an Atlanta Brave with over 500 AB's.
