I agree it's a pipe dream. Like Clapp said, Fox just doesn't have the footwork or lateral quickness to pull it off. I'd rather him go to instructional league and learn 1B and OF better. We're going to have an opening at 1B after next season. I doubt Vitters will be ready by then. Another option would be to trade him if we can get something of quality in return. The dude just mashes the ball.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Agreed. We all bitched about the void trading DeRosa caused and while not trying DeRosa to Fox - Fox is can play as many positions as DeRosa can. I would love for Fox to get into a regular rotation with Ramirez, Lee, Soriano and Bradley and take over at 1st full time after Lee's departure. He also gives us lots of flexiblity to move a vet too at next years deadline too if need be.
It's a damn shame that he can't get more playing time, but unless you can get something of value in return - don't move him just for the sake of moving him.
