Javier:
Cody Ross, the moneyball version of Repko.
Javier:
Who is Cody Ross?
"Ross, 23, signed as a fourth-round pick out of a New Mexico high school in 1999. He gets mixed reviews as a prospect. His proponents see him as a gritty overachiever who gets the most out of his tools, while his detractors see him as too small (5-foot-11, 180 pounds) and not talented enough to play regularly in the majors. Ross tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while trying to beat out a bunt against the Indians last September, but he has fully recovered. He has good pop for his size and plays a solid right field with a strong arm, though he may not hit for much of an average if he doesn't become more patient at the plate. He has decent speed. Ross batted .287/.333/.515 with 20 homers, 61 RBIs and 15 steals in 124 games at Triple-A Toledo last year, and went 4-for-19 with a grand slam in his first taste of the majors. He'll probably open 2004 at Triple-A Las Vegas."
It looks like Cody Ross has followed the same road Werth took in the minors, with their stats. He's actually increased his plate discipline from 2004 to 2005. He's had good pop with 56 HR in 299 AAA games over the last 3 seasons.
rik:
If they try and send him back down to the minors he will have to clear waivers. After this perfomance I know its only one but I don't know if he will.
Javier:
Even if we ignore today's performance, I doubt he would have been able to clear waivers.
Javier:
Yhency Brazoban to have Tommy John surgery and he will be out for the rest of the season.
