Overflow Thread 1: The Sky Is Falling (Jake Fox Traded)


Instead of taking over other subsequent front-page posts with bemoanings of how this means "fourth place here we come", here's a new thread to talk about it. 

No disrespect meant to those who are upset, but he's a role player.  He is not going to be the next Harmon Killebrew, Albert Pujols or even Mark DeRosa.  Jake seems like a good guy and I hope he has a nice career.  However, he wasn't going to be a factor on the 2010 Cubs.


To everyone who thinks that the Cubs should have gotten more - no one was beating down their door to get Fox.  Hendry shouldn't be trusted with a checkbook, but he generally has made decent trades. 


Quite honestly, people should be happy for both Fox and Miles - Jake is going to get a chance that he wasn't going to get with the Cubs, and Aaron needed a fresh start.
