Date	Question	Answer
2011-04-05 13:00:00	Do you think Jake Fox will get 300+ at bats this year or has his ship already sailed so to speak? (kcroyalsguy from outside)	Well, it would be nicer if he got his first at-bat before we project him for 300. He might get a few at-bats around the inevitable Derrek Lee DL stint. I don't know that it would be a good thing anyway, given the 10 walks he would draw against those 300 ABs. Sorry for the momentarily slow responses. I'll be picking up again in a moment. (Steven Goldman)
2011-02-14 13:00:00	20 team strato keeper league - who would rather have, Ruben Tejada or Jake Fox? (goiter6 from MN)	I wouldn't be too excited about either of those guys, but I guess I'd take Tejada for position and upside. (Tommy Bennett)
2010-02-02 13:00:00	I know you're sharp with pitching mechanics, what about swing mechanics? Jake Fox's swing looks like a bad golf swing. (ashitaka from long beach, ca)	Nope, it's something I'd love to learn more about. If you ever saw my swing, you'd realize there's a lot of learning left to do. (Will Carroll)
2009-12-15 14:00:00	Long time, CK. Can Jake Fox fake it enough to play 3B, or he essentially the everyday DH next year? (ashitaka from long beach, ca)	I'm expecting he's more a DH than a third baseman, especially now that Cust's fallen into the "Somebody Else's Problem" field. (Christina Kahrl)
2009-12-11 13:00:00	If the A's don't dump Jack Cust, where do you see Jake Fox playing in Oakland? Can he fake it at 3B or does he just embarrass himself? (ashitaka from long beach, ca)	Jake Fox makes Cust look like a gold glove candidate at any position. He is, like Cust, a DH only. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-12-04 14:00:00	Your thoughts on the Cubs' trade with the A's? (db11cn from Talbott, Tennessee)	I like it for the A's. Jake Fox is the perfect DH. (John Perrotto)
2009-11-09 12:00:00	Who do you see as potential candidates to fill the Cubs' outfield vacancy? Do see a need for a power/run-producer or speed/obp/defense type? (Matt from Chicago)	Let's take a step back, b/c there really is no vacancy yet. The hope is still that they can trade Bradley for a decent everyday outfielder. If they can't, then maybe they go for one of the free agents -- can't you see the Cubs overpaying for Marlon Byrd? Who knows, if they have to release Bradley, maybe Jake Fox gets a shot, although that could be a disaster defensively... (Shawn Hoffman)
2009-10-02 14:00:00	thoughts on the future for Sam Fuld and Jake Fox? (Flynnbot from IL)	Fuld is just a guy, a decent fourth OF. Fox is valuable, enough bat to play third or catcher, almost enough glove to do either. I'd play him nearly every day somewhere given the age, injury and performance issues at the various spots. (Joe Sheehan)
2009-07-15 14:00:00	Jake Fox's bat thus far has looked pretty good, but the Cubs don't seem to have any confidence with him behind the plate, and the consensus seems to be that he's not much help anywhere else on the field. Is his bat good enough for him to settle in with an AL team at DH? (Doug from Portland, OR)	I really don't know. I mean, there's no way the guy can catch, so give up on that right now. Still, five years from now, I could see him bouncing back between AAA and the big leagues with his fourth organization, becoming a decent established DH with someone -- not huge, but somewhat productive, or winning Japanese league HR titles. All of those are legitimate scenarios. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-05-07 14:00:00	Is Jake Fox a better prospect than people may think? (Rob from Dallas)	I don't necessarily think so. I think he's more likely to win a home run title in Japan three years from now than be starting in the bigs. (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-04-28 13:00:00	Any sense that if Derrek Lee's neck / health problems persist we may see Jake Fox in Chicago soon? (go-dills! from Chicago)	Possibly but Lou Piniella like Hoffpauir's bat and I think he would get first crack at first. (John Perrotto)
