Cody Ross hits a 3 run HR off of Dave Williams
I'd say keeping McCracken over Ross when we needed to make room on the roster isn't looking so good.
Ross has a juicy line ---- .208/.283/.377/.660
That's good enough to be the Redszone Pinata for quite some time.
I'd take 8 dingers and great D off the bench over what the Reds have gotten from McCracken, Hollandsworth, and every other member of the Reds' bench rogue's gallery.Quote:

Reggie Taylor's 2003 was pretty good for a bench player. Just because others wouldn't appreciate him, doesn't mean he hasn't been better than Hopper, Denorfia, Hollandsworth, McCracken, Wise, Castro.Quote:

It's a 25th man, true. But every move counts.
*I thought Walton 1995 was a true platoon, not a 25th man.
Wow...Hopper has already incurred your distain? That didn't take long.Quote:
