2-He's a poor defender, no doubt.
However, what about <i>right this minute</i>?
1-The Cubs have scored one unearned run in the past 4 games. One.
2-Fox is the single hottest hitter in the entire minor leagues.
3-Our lineup is in desperate need of some juice, and the easiest guy to bench would be Lee, who just happens to play Fox's position.
For at least a week, why not call him up?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What position player are you going to send down in order to call up Fox? Because if your answer is to DL someone, since we'd be without that player for 2 weeks, we'd need someone who could play that position.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.
