TEAM TARGETS REDS CATCHER DAVID ROSS
Although the catching market is thin, the Marlins are looking at Cincinnati Reds catcher David Ross as a trade possibility.
Ross, who primarily has been a backup for most of his seven major-league seasons, is hitting .247 with one home run in 89 at-bats this season.
But Ross, 31, a former University of Florida player, is serviceable and relatively inexpensive ($2.52 million this season with a club option in 2009 for $3.5 million).
He is a career .224 hitter, but hit 21 home runs in 2006 and 17 last year in the cozy confines of Great American Ball Park. Over his career, Ross has a 38 percent rate throwing out runners trying to steal.
The Marlins are less interested in Colorado's Yorvit Torrealba, Washington's Paul Lo Duca and Kansas City's Miguel Olivo.

we don't really have anyone waiting in the wings, so i'd rather keep ross.

No one in the wings, but
If we could get a good piece for Ross, I’m willing to let Bako and Valentin handle the catching for the rest of the year.

Gaby Hernandez SP
Gaby Sanchez 1B

They would all be decent adds for us.

Now is the time move Bako....he's already falling back to his career norms.
Without somebody in the wings I would hope that we can keep hold of Ross.
