@IowaCubs: Need your insight. Jake Fox got sent back to AAA today. A two week long interleague play coming up on Friday for Cubs, but they decided to carry Aaron Miles, Andrés Blanco, AND Bobby Scales, instead of Fox when they need a DH.(Does he suppose be able to play as a backup 3B?) Are they really hate on Fox or there is something else?(Trade possibilities?)

Fox’s 0.61 BB/K rate in AAA this year looks pretty okay for a guy with his kind of power. Indeed he is not taking a walk yet and not seeing fastball often(52.5%) but he holds himself this time around in the Major. Why sent him back? I don’t get it. Do you see him getting callup again in the next few days? If not, does that mean there is no chance we see him again in the Major this year unless more injury strikes…?

Thank you in advance.

Should I drop Beckham for Bloomquist?

BTW, am I allowed to bang my head on the keyboard for not trading Votto for Haren in April? Maybe then I’d get dizzy and hit .360. Frack.

@Elbert: I know! Who knew this new stadium would turn out like this? I'm stuck with: Burnett, Wang, Joba (he's alright) and Hughes (ok, he's been in and out of my roster). I'm cringing every time they're starting a game at home.

@DrEasy: i'm still fuming over Twin's mishandling on Baker's outing in 9th, but yeah man i feel you about Burnett; Burnett is very very lucky so far, and one example to note is his GO/AO ratio has completely altered, compared to his career norm (thanx to Yankess stadium), and he's HR% + BB% is up, while seeing decrease in infield PO% & K%. If i own any NYY SP, I would definitely try to unload anyone besides CC on Yankees rotation before July; almost whole rotation has gone from groundball-happy to flyball-happy, when heat come up during summer it's something to watch out for.

@Gareth: Victorino? Werth? Maybe BJ?

@Baron Von Vulturewins: I did the same (picked up Madson) after reading your comment yesterday or the day before. I think you said Lidge was a trip to the disgraceful list waiting to happen. Then I saw that they were playing the Mets this week and figured either they would not want to totally ruin his confidence by putting him in a position to blow one ag. their arch rivals, or he would blow one and be gone. Thanks Baron!

If I were looking to trade away Ryan Franklin to a league that seems to me to overvalue closers, what tier of outfielder should I be looking for in return?

A 10-0 game to start the 9th, and they end up having to use Joe Nathan to close the game.
