We have 6 regulars at Iowa that are hitting over .300. Jake Fox at .425 HAS to be on the 25-man roster. Send Fontenot down to AAA to get his swing back.
Chris Robinson is hitting .389. Give Hill his walking papers and bring him up.
Release Freel (won't happen) and bring up Dubois and give him his final chance.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I can agree with the first suggestion.
The second one is a bit more of a stretch.
However, the third one is comical.

I realize that Dubois isn't going to be brought up (because we really don't need another OF on top of us having no one to get rid of to make room for him). But what's the point of having Dubios in IA hitting over .350 if we never intend to use him. Trade him then.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The reason we have Dubois at AAA is because we need to fill out the roster.

Maybe I'm off base, but if you have no intentions of using a player, they have no place in the farm system. I guarantee we could find another OF for a lower level of the system and promote a AA player.

Who the hell are you talking about Jason Dubois or Jake Fox?
