The big loser in the Kevin Kouzmanoff trade. With 3B ABs gone, Fox will be relegated to back-up status. Add in the recent signing of Jack Cust at DH, and Fox's DH ABs become limited to the bad side of a platoon.
No mixed league value.

Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
No real surprise here, but 3B/OF Jake Fox, now of the Oakland A's, is a mixed league sleeper. The ease with which sluggers hit 20+ HRs no longer exists in the form most fantasy players have become accustomed to assuming.
As a result, Fox's 11 HRs 216 ABs in 2008 means he should easily surpass 20 HRswith a season's full of ABs. As long as he avoid a Jack Custian sub-.240 AVG, he will have value in mixed formats.
FWIW, 30 players hit 30 or more HRs in 2008. 77 hit 20-29. The math in standard mixed leagues: 12 teams with 13 hitters equals 156 players. In 10-team leagues, that is still 130 hitters.
