Newsbreakers
December 3, 2009
Jake Fox and Aaron Miles have been dealt from Chicago to Oakland in exchange for Jeff Gray and two minor leaguers, according to ESPN.
Our View:
The identity of the minor leaguers is yet to be disclosed. Fox flashed potential in 2009 with the Cubs, as he hit .259 with 11 homers and 44 RBI.
September 26, 2009
Jake Fox went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in a rare start at first base on Saturday. Replacing Derrek Lee, he helped the Cubs to a 6-2 win over the Giants.
Our View:
Fox's day at the plate doubled his RBI total for the entire month, which should tell you something about his production lately. Still, he has 43 RBI in only 200 at-bats this season.
September 20, 2009
Jake Fox hit a game-winning two-run home run in the 11th inning on Sunday to help the Cubs salvage the final game of their series against the Cardinals. Fox was 1-for-1 with the homer, a run scored, and two RBI in the win.
Our View:
It seems like Fox does something productive every time he is in the lineup, and he is expected to be a regular in 2010. With regular playing time next season, Fox should have no problem being a fantasy contributor.
September 3, 2009
Starting at first base for Derrek Lee on Thursday, Jake Fox went 2-for-4, but the Cubs would still go on to lose 5-0 to the White Sox.
Our View:
Fox is now batting .286 in 175 at-bats this season, and will more than likely be in the Cubs lineup in 2010.
August 29, 2009
Jake Fox went 2-for-5 with a career high five RBI on Saturday, which included his first career grand slam, as the Cubs shelled the Mets 11-4 at Wrigley Field.
Our View:
Fox now has ten home runs and 39 RBI in 61 games for the Cubs this season, and could find himself a regular in their lineup in 2010.
August 23, 2009
Jake Fox led the Cubs offensively in Sunday's 3-1 win at Los Angeles as he went 4-for-4 with two RBI. He hit three singles and a solo homer off Chad Billingsley.
Our View:
Fox raised his season average to .305, and hit his first homer since August 2 (at Florida). He is only an option for NL-only leagues right now as he does not see regular playing time.
August 10, 2009
Jake Fox went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in tonight's 11-5 loss at Colorado. Both of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
Fox raised his season average to .301, and has two hits in each of his last two games. He could earn more playing time if he continues to perform well.
July 31, 2009
Jake Fox was productive in tonight's 5-2 loss at Florida, as he went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off Chris Volstad.
Our View:
Fox has homered in back-to-back games, and hit exactly .300 over 50 at-bats in July. Fox could be a solid fantasy contributor if the Cubs give him enough playing time.
July 19, 2009
Jake Fox had the best game of his young major league career on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI as the Cubs punished the Nationals 11-3 in Washington D.C.
Our View:
Fox is making life tough for Cubs manager Lou Piniella, hitting much better than many higher paid Cubs veterans who are clogging up any position he could possibly play. He should be owned in every keeper league, but likely won't get enough playing time to warrant an own any place else.
July 3, 2009
Jake Fox won the game for the Cubs on Friday, and he never recorded a hit. He went 0-for-3, but drew a bases loaded walk in the tenth inning to give Chicago a 2-1 walk-off win over Milwaukee.
Our View:
Fox has been getting pretty regular playing time since June 17th and is showing the Cubs that he deserves to stick around. The kid has a .302 average with three homers and 13 RBI.
June 25, 2009
Jake Fox had a big day at the dish for the Cubs on Thursday, but it wasn't enough as they fell to the Tigers 6-5. Fox went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, a run scored, and three RBI in the losing effort.
Our View:
Fox has shown he can hit, but now he just needs to find a way to get in the lineup on a daily basis. A few more performances like this would probably go a long way in helping that out, but until then his fantasy value is low. If he starts playing everyday, he would be a nice pickup in NL-only leagues for sure and possibly mixed leagues as well.
June 19, 2009
Jake Fox is in the Cubs' starting lineup for their Friday afternoon game against the Indians. Fox is playing third base and batting sixth in the order.
Our View:
Fox has shown he can handle himself at this level, but he isn't getting enough time in the lineup to warrant any fantasy consideration. If he starts playing on a regular basis, NL-only leaguers will want to give him a look for sure.
June 16, 2009
According to the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs have recalled Jake Fox to take the place of the injured Jason Waddell. Fox was sent back to Triple-A just six days ago, but since he is replacing an injured player he was not required to wait the 10 days.
Our View:
Fox was impressive in limited work with the Cubs before he was sent down, including a 5-for-6 showing as a pinch hitter. The team isn't doing anyone any favors by bringing him up to sit the bench, and the way their offense is going right now Fox figures to at least get a chance at playing. He could be worth a look in NL-only leagues, and if he gets in the lineup regularly mixed leaguers may want to give him a look as well.
June 10, 2009
The Cubs optioned third baseman/outfielder Jake Fox back to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday night.
Our View:
Fox will resume his efforts to win the PCL triple crown. Apparently his 5-for-12 effort with the Cubs wasn't good enough. Don't be surprised if Fox returns later in June to handle DH duties when the Cubs visit the Tigers and White Sox.
June 6, 2009
According to the Chicago Tribune, outfield prospect Jake Fox may get his first start on Saturday.
Our View:
Fox tore up Triple-A pitching and is 3-for-7 this season in the bigs. Should he get the start today, he'd play right, but he'll likely see most of his time at DH during inter-league play.
May 27, 2009
Jake Fox has been recalled by the Cubs from Triple-A Iowa, according to ESPN. Lefty reliever Neal Cotts was optioned to Iowa as the corresponding move.
Our View:
Fox was batting .423 with 17 home runs and 50 RBI through Tuesday night with Iowa prior to his promotion to the bigs. He will be used in the outfield, and also at the corner infield spots. He could see enough action to be useful for deeper fantasy leagues, and is worth consideration as a flier.
May 15, 2009
Jake Fox increased his average to .420 after going 4-for-6 with a homer for Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
Our View:
Fox's incredible pace has slowed, as he is now only hitting .420-15-44 for the season. He remains a strong candidate to be called up at any time for the Cubs, but the team is having enough trouble finding playing time for Micah Hoffpauir.
April 28, 2009
Jake Fox hit his 12th home run of the season for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday night.
Our View:
No, that's not a misprint. The 26-year-old former catcher is now hitting .446-12-31 in 74 at-bats this season for Iowa. He hit 31 homers last season and currently has a 1.579 OPS. Fox's poor defense is the only thing preventing him from helping the Cubs, but he should still be considered in NL-only leagues if and when he receives a call-up.
March 24, 2009
The Cubs optioned outfielder Jake Fox to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, MLB.com reports. Fox, 26, also played some third base this spring. He hit .350 with four homers, five doubles, 16 RBI, and 13 runs over 22 games in the exhibition season.
Our View:
Fox has good power, but the Cubs simply don't have the room. Heck, they can barely find at-bats for Micah Hoffpauir. Fox will head to Triple-A and keep trying to expand his utility role resume.
February 26, 2009
Playing first base Thursday, Jake Fox went 3-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored in Chicago's 7-4 win over Milwaukee Thursday.
Our View:
An outfielder by trade, Fox will receive his shot to make a difference in the spring, but his major league duty likely awaits him in September after he spends the season at AAA Iowa.
