Red Sox Scouting Francoeur?

I find this report really difficult to believe:

The Boston Red Sox have recently sent scouts to watch Braves right fielder Jeff Francoeur, according to published reports.

It’s unclear whether the Braves are seriously entertaining offers on the player once expected to become the next face of the franchise, but they would presumably have to get an outfielder in return, or have another deal lined up to get a replacement for Francoeur, 25.

Francoeur is an out machine. That’s the antithesis of the kind of hitters the Red Sox develop and sign. I want to believe they’re actually interested in someone else and are using Francoeur to hide their true intentions.
