The Angels optioned him back to AAA last week after he got 10 whole plate appearances. They really don't have much of a spot for him, and I wonder if they'd have any interest in a guy like Jake Fox that could DH for them?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But then what do you do when Aramis comes back? Aramis isn't going anywhere for awhile. I'd lean more towards a veteran hitter if we really want to acquire one, which I wouldn't look to do just yet. If we're struggling to score runs in a couple weeks, maybe. It doesn't appear we're losing anything defensively though with how Fontenot's looked there.
Anyway, I'm a major Brandon fan now of course so I wouldn't complain one bit if he became a Cub, I just don't know if the team should be looking to do that.
