Cody Ross is still in free agent limbo, awaiting a team to sign him to the three-year deal he’s been seeking.
The Red Sox say they’re still in it, but with Jonny Gomes and Shane Victorino added to the outfield mix and Gomes being righthanded, it seems tough to figure where Ross fits. Ross, who had a strong season on a one-year, $3 million deal, told the Red Sox from the outset his comparisons were Josh Willingham and Michael Cuddyer.

I think it would be lunacy to deal for Ethier. He's being paid $17 mil-a-year for the next six years. This needs to be considered. Sorry, but a .28--hitting RF with 20 homers and 80 RBIs can be found for a lot cheaper and with a shorter commitment (his name is Cody Ross!).
Ross is better than Gomes on his worst day. Trade Gomes for a new paper shredder.
Should have signed Ross. What drug were they on when they signed Gomes?
