Florida looking at Ross or Bako

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.

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.

Send him off

Try to get a piece for next year or the future.
I’d love Pinto from their bullpen
Sinkbeil SP
Eulogio De la Cruz SP
Gaby Hernandez SP
Gaby Sanchez 1B
Chris Coghlan 2B
Jai Miller OF
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.
