Jake Fox is proving that his fast start to the 2009 minor league season at Triple-A Iowa is nothing to scoff at. Despite hitting .287 with a .921 OPS and 31 home runs last season the 26-year-old right hand hitting outfielder has been stashed within the Cubs minor league system.
It’s been pretty easy to follow [...]

In more routine news, Fox...

Lee and Soto could lose playing time
Lou Piniella said after the loss last night that Geovany Soto and Derrek Lee will probably start losing playing time to Micah Hoffpauir and Koyie Hill. Lou says a lot of things that never actually happen. Remember Lou talking about Bradley hitting 6th when he came back from the injury? How many times has that happened? Once? It’s kind of strange that he’s singling...
