Buh-bye Tony, hello Cody
We continue to add more Dodgers rejects with the last name “Ross” by trading a player to be named later for Mr. Cody Ross. Judging by his minor league numbers, he's a mediocre-average, mediocre-walk rate, solid power, lots of strikeouts kind of guy with pretty much no speed. He's like Wily Mo if you took away a bit of his power and gave that to his eye. Judging by his scouting reports, he's very good defensively, so he's really nothing like Wily Mo in that regard. And as far as I know, his hair isn't crazy and he isn't an awesome Dominican clone of Pedro Cerrano.
To make room for this, Tony Womack was DFA'd. Hopefully McCracken is gone when Junior comes back and Narron will be nearly rid of his incompetent bench players and will be forced to use real baseball players.
So he doesn’t fill the hole in your heart left by Peña, then? Maybe you’ll learn to love him.
I dunno about McCracken and Griffey, tho. McCracken ain’t no international superstar, but Griffey ain’t moving like he used to either.
