David Ross? I don't know much about him, but I'd assume he'd be the third catcher come September. Kevin Cash is doing a very solid job, so let's just keep him in there every fifth day. Ross, though, would be a good player to rest 'Tek in September.

If the Marlins do another another firesale, who should we go after if anyone? I think Kevin Gregg and either Willingham or Hermida (if we get rid of Coco) sound like options for the '09 season to me.

This would be a low-risk, potential high-reward situation. In 2005 with the Giants Eyre posted a 2.63 ERA in 68.1 innings of work while striking out 65. Eyre, too, is a lefty.

Have you seen the Herald article about this guy making tables out of wood cleared from Ted Willliams Baseball Camp? I'd love to buy one of these. He's calling it the "Splendid Splinters" collection for baseball fanatics.
