So although I buy the idea of Ross as a kind of super-backup based on his work since he left the Sox, I'm not sure we need him, unless they're just dead set on giving Lavarnaway the AB's in the minors to develop. Not sure it makes sense to trade Salty given all the uncertainty we've had at this position.Zenslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040836002694584468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-71273933951738368162012-11-16T19:20:21.000-08:002012-11-16T19:20:21.000-08:00The red sox have been short on nicknames lately.

Why deal him or Salty if there is no reason to do so? Worse case next season, Salty or Ross go down with injury and Lavarnway slides into that role.FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093124081174881768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-68886634816251699832012-11-15T09:58:56.517-08:002012-11-15T09:58:56.517-08:00Pic I took of Ross catching for the Red Sox in ...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tbBYNu0qnow/SOMVprjb3eI/AAAAAAAAH-4/an6yk4FSf6A/s1600-h/P38_ross_mask.jpg" rel="nofollow">Pic I took</a> of Ross catching for the Red Sox in '08--check out the mask!
