Derrek Lee has put up a 1.029 OPS thus far in May, and he has a NTC – so Hendry can’t just “unload” him. Fox at third would kill the defense. Vitters is playing well in Peoria but is not ready for primetime action. There’s no room on the 25-man for Hoff and Fox. Take a deep breath. The hitters in the Cubs lineup are the hitters who will have to produce.

There’s no guarantee Fox is going to mash in the majors. And his defense would hurt the Cubs.

Who cares about defense when the team can’t score more than 1 run a game? Nice pitching outing Demp, too bad we lost 2-1. Nice outing Lilly, too bad we lost 3-0 to Piniero. Nice outing Rich, too bad we lost 3-1. It is infuriating that $150 million doesn’t get you any runs today. Defense is the least of out worries.

Unload Lee. He has been on a downward spiral since his wrist injury and shows no sign of improving. The whole team looks like they are dead on the field. Bring some kids up and shake up the lineup. Otherwise we are looking directly at the basement.

Play Fox at 3rd. He has been there some and it has to be better than the production we are getting out of Fontenot and Miles. Bring up Vitters at 3B. Put Hoff at 1B and give Lee a long break, or give Bradley some days off (if he has actually been playing at all this year) and put Hoff in RF and Fox at 1B. Time to shake things up. Where is the old Lou that wouldn’t have stood for a player to lollygag their way to 1B? We need him now!!

There is no spoon… it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Nice post, Dave. Keep that ear low to the ground!

Learn how to play 3B or OF and your on the team. First basemen that can hit are a dime a dozen in the MLB. Add some versatility.

But he’s only hit .269 this year in Des Moines, while 27 for 50 above 4000 feet (Albuquerque, Salt Lake, Colorado Springs)

I’m sure you just tossed out KC as a top of the head example; however I bet even they would be hard pressed to give Fox a second look. Butler & Jacobs in MLB; Kaaihue & Shealy in AAA. Fox is super hot right now, but even KC has spare players with the same basic skill set as Fox.
