Dan asked me tonight how Jake Fox was doing at AAA. So I decided to have a look.
In 19 games, accumulating 74 at bats, Jake Fox is hitting a mere .446 with TWELVE home runs and 31 RBI. Right now his OPS (On base Plus Slugging) is a robust 1.579. Basically the dude is having an "Triple Play Baseball '96 on Rookie setting" type April. Oh, and if you are concerned about how he is handling right-handers, since Jim Hendry is on that kick, 11 of his 12 home runs are off righties.
I think Mr. Fox may be gracing Wrigley Field with his presence soon. Preferably at the expense of Joey Gathright. The question that remains is if this is for real, or if this is another in a long line of AAAA ballplayers from Iowa.
