Jake Fox is a one bagger in the Chicago Cubs farm system. Fox is currently leading the Minors with 14 homeruns, helped out by the two he slugged yesterday. He is already sitting in AAA Iowa, so there is no where else for dude to go but Chicago. The problem is that the Cubs already have a pretty good one bagger in the Majors already, some guy named Derek Lee. It is a shame that Fox is handcuffed, because dude is straight up crushing the minors. Through 28 games, he has a .402 AVG and a massive 1.425 OPS. Yes, you read that correctly, his OPS is 1.425. Why is it so high? His 14 homers are certainly helping his .941 SLG%, and his 41 hits in 102 at-bats are helping out his .483 OBP. He has nine doubles and two triples to add to his tally, with 24 strikeouts going against it. Did I mention that he has 14 homers in 28 games yet?
If something were to happen to Lee, Fox would be the guy to get the call. If said call were made, Fox would be a must add from the get go. Do not be fooled by MiLB.com tagging him a left fielder, Fox is a one bagger all the way. If he did play in the outfield, he would have a hard time supplanting either Alfonso Soriano or Milton Bradley in the corners, and he obviously does not have the speed to play center. So keep your eyes on Lee, because in injury to him looks like the only chance Fox has at seeing time in the bigs this year.
