That's what needs to happen. Hoff's hitting like .170 since April, and Fox is the same thing he is(minus which side he bats from which means jackshit to me because Fox is mashing the fuck out of righties too). He can find time at 3rd(Aramis won't play more than 75-80% of the games I'd imagine), LF, RF, and even 1B if Lee needs a day off. He's also our best bat off the bench.
I do like what I've seen from Shark's curveball, that looks like another legitimate pitch he can use.
Fontenot's swinging the bat much better of late, even against lefties. He seems to have that swagger back at the plate and you risk losing that by sending him down.
Ideally you just go with 11 pitchers, the problem is we have 7 games in 6 days. If we have a short outing or two from the starters, you're asking for trouble.
And Soriano still doesn't look right physically with his knee, but he's not going to let the Cubs DL him. Lou also said after the game, "Maybe he can build off his 2 hits today." What cracks me up about our idiotic, dipshit fans is how they all cheer the hell out of him when he gets 2 bloop hits, and boo his ass when he rips one to the track in right field with the wind blowing in.
