Our pitching is pretty good, our defensive efficiency is pretty good...

If Fox can keep his hitting going

He can easily start 60 games next year (10 each at LF/RF/3B/1B and 20 at C). Add in another 50-60 appearances as the lead PH, and he’ll have a nice 300 AB season.

Then trade Bradley and stick him in RF a la Keith Moreland.

Its funny

cause all we heared was how his defense was “slighty above horrendous” and now we want him to be our super sub.

Adam Dunn proves that defense is excusable

After watching Fox at 3B/1B/LF (I followed gameday tonight so I didn’t see him catch, but that one pitch Gameday had as about 8 feet in the air…), he has absoutely no form in the field, but yet the plays still happen.

I’d rather see Fox be the guy that gives our starters a day off than some Freddy Bynum type clown.
