2007

A power surge in A-ball gave Fox a glimmer of prospect status. Until last year`s performance at Daytona, his numbers were consistently on the low side for a major league prospect. He has legitimate power but doesn`t get on base enough. His offense is more than adequate for a backup, but most teams prefer would prefer a better defender. Another year slugging better than .500 will do wonders in creating believers.
