What happens now with J. Fox? WHIR

Postby sowen246 » Mon Jul 06, 2009 12:37 am

16 team mixed 5x5x roto

I've been riding Fox, but now woth A Ram returning, will Fox be sent down, benched, or continue to get ab's?

I cut him loose, but would pick him back up in a minute if I knew he would get playing time.

What do you think? :-?

We won't know anything until tomorrow when Guzman, Aram, and Johnson are activated. I seriously doubt he gets sent down - I suppose a trade would be a possibility, too.

Lee and Aram are under contract for a few more years so he's blocked at CI. Bradley has been terrible so he could play some LF if Soriano moves to RF, but that seems real iffy.

IMO he hangs out for a week or two to see if Aram is healthy. Then I say he goes down just to get some ABs, though he could ride the pine. I don't think they want to trade him but they may have no choice.

If you have the slots you could stash him for a few weeks, longer if its a keeper, but if the bench is tight I don't see how you can hold on to him.

Help with mine?

Well, this morning I made a gamble and grabbed C. Davis, who had just been dropped. (Remember, this is a deep 16 team league)

Yes, I know he was just sent down, but I am viewing this as a 'DL' and am counting on him working things out and being called up after the break. Tons of potential, as we saw late last season.

I feel better working this angle than dealing with the log jam in Chicago. ;-7

I agree with that decision. With Fox, it was too hard to tell exactly what they're going to do. Personally, I just don't see where they are going to play him, especially at an everyday position. My guess is he platoons and you see him as a pinch hitter. In a 16 teamer, Davis is worth holding onto if he gets recalled, like you said.

Help me out man?
