Doug:
Hey, how's that Roy Oswalt signing coming along?

//Ross isn't the type of guy who's going to hit 30 home runs and drive 100 runners home. But the Red Sox don't need that guy.//

Evidently, we also don't need the pitcher who can win 15-20 games, the reliever who can save 30, or the front office that can sign them.

[Harwich Rich]

...or a guy who can play shortstop.

[Rob in CT]

Yeah, but he's a good clubhouse guy. *SO* important when you've got "stiffs" like Beckett, Lester and Bucholz around. WTF??!?

H.B., where ever do you find this stuff?

[rolo]

haven't felt that much spin since they shut down the gravitron at Rocky Point.

"Ross also has a career fielding percentage of .988, which is above the league average of .983"

Maybe he'll be fine. Maybe not with a dumb forced nickname like "Ross the Boss". But if he's effective, how long until you see vendors selling "Like a Ross" t-shirts?

The upcoming season is dead to me.

[pseudosanity78]

I'm kinda with you Yaz...

Only I feel like someone in a coma who can hear the doctors saying they're going to start using me in medical research by grafting a duck's bill to my anus.

[Kaz]

That depends, pseudo. How much did the duck owe? *nyuck nyuck nyuck*

You'll all be eating those words when we start playing a magical season like the Rays did a few years ago with scrubs and scrapeheap redeemers! You'll all be sorry then, boyo!

[Lauren]

Yeah. Detroit gets Prince Fielder. We get Cody Ross... Welcome to opposite-ville. No, I'm going to be optimistic. I hear Ross has fans. I got an e-mail about how entertaining his "tinkerbell hop" is. I don't really know what that means.
