Sorry Drew...........

I thought there were a few BCBers
.. that had seen Fox play in the minors and agreed with the “he’s a butcher in the field” line… anyone??

i know it sounds stupid at first
but if he can play third, he has a chance to play second
Milton ...... see the ball hit the ball
Hmmm.
Not that I’m disagreeing with you, but that’s an interesting FanPost topic: Which position is hardest/harder to play?? I’m sure catcher would be first, but I’ve always thought third requires a MUCH faster reaction time than any other position, one of the if not THE strongest arm on the field, etc.

hahah i dont care
he needs to be in the lineup consistently though
Milton ...... see the ball hit the ball
Actually.. my thought on second base...
We wait until the last day of the deadline – when there are the most sellers. If Font hasn’t picked it up or Blanco hasn’t continued to impress, then we trade for a big gun.
