If we had DeRosa clogging up our bench we'd have never given Jake Fox a chance to blossom.
So add that to the argument. Jim Hendry got rid of DeRosa to make more playing time for Jake Fox, who will eventually be an inexpensive 1B solution. Three Cheers for the wizardry of Jim Hendry.

Loved how a few months ago, folks were saying that the Cubs should dump Lee for a handful of beans so Micah Hoffpauir could get some playing time. The same Micah that was hitting less than 180 since June and now is in Iowa.
Let's see Fox hit MLB pitching for a season before were ready to send Lee out of town.
If Aramis has to take some time off, I am hoping to see Fox get multiple starts at third and get to prove himself.
