It sounds like Fox is really getting a ton of work at 1st/3rd. If he shows he can adequately play both, he's got a great chance to be on the team. We know he can hit.

Aaron Miles might've gotten it about 100 feet in front of the warning track.

And Fontenot, who will get more PT than Miles at 2b, would've hit it through the scoreboard at Wrigley, then jizzed on Yaibu's face, then fly over to Asia and bang his mom.

That was awesome.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Scott Eyre added his name Wednesday to the list of major league players whose cash flow has been disrupted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation of the Stanford Group.

But unlike most players whose funds have been frozen, Eyre said he has a temporary way out: His team has agreed to give him an advance on his salary.

Eyre said that when he realized that he didn't have access to his savings, he asked the Phillies if the club would consider loaning him money to tide him over, and the team agreed.

"I think they know I'll pay them back," Eyre joked. "I mean, they know where I work."

Eyre, who invested in Stanford through a broker who is a former teammate, said all his assets had been frozen by the SEC except for one bank account with $3,000 in it. He also is unable to use credit cards linked to the Stanford Group.

"I do have other cards I can use," Eyre said. "I just can't pay them off at the end of the month."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I just don't see any reason to think he'll suck from what we saw last year. He has filthy stuff and you won't find a young pitcher out there that is tougher mentally. His splitter got much better as the year went along and that should only improve, plus he's working on his changeup which he likely threw a few times today.

The year following him moving up, he's been horrible. I'm just guessing that he'll do it again. I guess we'll see. I'm just not as high on him as everyone else.
