Ross, 31, hit .240/.325/.405 (105 OPS+) for the Giants in 2011. In his career, he has a .912 OPS against lefties (.282/.349/.563).
However, his slash stats for the last three years show a huge drop in power:
Ross has played all three outfield positions for the past two seasons. Games played:AVG OBP SLG OPS 2009 .284 .347 .612 .959 2010 .287 .340 .543 .883 2011 .234 .336 .362 .698
From an optimist's point of view, a bench with Ross, Nick Punto, and Mike Aviles has a lot of versatility.LF CF RF 2010 23 89 54 2011 83 22 35

and nuts if we aren't an optimistic bunch 'round here.
So true.
Ross 2011 batted balls from SF overlaid on Fenway Park. Not the worst thing I have seen.
Hmmmm.
SoSHer DeJesus Built My Hotrod:
"[Ross will] win over the dirt-dog fanbase. ... [H]e is likely to be well regarded by Boston fans who like hustling country boys who smile while playing the game the right way. Unfortunately, that is an entirely different thing than being a good ballplayer."
Still, moving from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park and being saved for lefties by a platoon-understanding manager will make this a good signing.
Yeah , take that AL East, we got Cody Ross!!!
Being a bald man i get a goattee, but this cat sports a version of a reverse mullet , to each his own...
Speaking of dirt dogs, McAdam calls Nick Punto an "offensive sinkhole". (fd-if he's at short regularly). Still, classy name-calling, would have brought the dueling pistols out in the old days.
Name-calling bad. Offensive sinkhole worse.
Well, it is not as bad as the CHB (on the radio in January 2003) calling David Ortiz "a giant sack of shit".
(Actually, he said "giant sack of you-know-what", but that is because he was on the radio.)
Tigers ink Fielder for 9/214.
Good God.
Good God.
My reaction exactly when my Tigers fan cousin posted the news on FB yesterday afternoon. He was over the moon. I asked him if he thought he'd still feel the same way six or seven years from now. Fielder has been really reliable so far, but he doesn't exactly look like the picture of health.
