Monday, September 7th, 2009: At the age of 27, Jake Fox might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication.

He racked up 14 hits in 22 at-bats, 7 home runs and 16 RBIs last week in 7 games.
This season Fox is hitting .405 with 83 hits, 23 home runs, 65 RBIs, scored 57 runs and played in 57 games. |
