Juan Ramón Francisco González (born June 24, 1987) is a Dominican professional baseball first baseman.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays.

He batted .280 in 182 at-bats with three home runs, and enjoyed a nine-game call up at the season's end to the rookie–level Billings Mustangs, where he went 12-for-36 (.333).

In 40 games for the team, he .360 with 37 RBI, and his 12 home runs set the DWL record for regular season homers by a left-handed hitter.

Francisco made his debut for the Reds as part of a 3–1 win over the Houston Astros on September 14, 2009, at Great American Ball Park.

Pinch hitting for left fielder Darnell McDonald in the seventh inning, Francisco faced pitcher Jeff Fulchino and struck out in his first Major League at bat.

They lost in the championship game again, but this time without Francisco, who fouled a pitch off his leg under his right knee on December 10 and missed the rest of the season.

This and his other trips to the DWL playoffs, which are taken very seriously in the Dominican Republic, have given Juan post-season experience which he can bring with him to the big leagues.

On September 12, 2011, Francisco hit a home run off Chicago Cubs pitcher Rodrigo López that cleared the right field bleachers at Great American Ball Park.

Francisco entered 2013 as the replacement for the recently retired Chipper Jones at third base, along with Chris Johnson.

On June 3, 2013, Francisco was traded by the Braves to the Milwaukee Brewers for minor league pitcher Tom Keeling.

[7] He split first base duties with Yuniesky Betancourt until around mid-August, when Jonathan Lucroy and Sean Halton got more starts, with Francisco getting the smallest third, being used more often as a pinch-hitter.

On April 1, 2014, the Toronto Blue Jays signed Francisco to a minor league contract, and assigned him to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

Francisco enjoyed early success as a member of the Blue Jays, but his inability to hit the breaking ball reduced his effectiveness, and then his playing time.

[14] After failing to make the 25-man roster out of spring training, Tampa Bay attempted to send Francisco to Triple-A Durham Bulls, however he exercised an opt-out clause in his contract on April 5 and became a free agent.

[17] After sitting out the 2016 season, Francisco signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles on February 14, 2017.
