Mets trying to sign Cody Ross...

Found January 21, 2012 on Mets Fever: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Cody Ross
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants,  New York Mets

Giants-knocks-the-winning
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN is reporting that the Mets are attempting to sign Cody Ross, as a right handed bat Ross really doesn't make sense. Had he been signed instead of Hairston I could understand that but now with Hairston, if they sign Ross the bench will be righty dominated. Otherwise Ross can legitimately play center field and hit for power. Over the past 8 seasons the 31 y/o has averaged .261 BA, .323 OBP, .456 Slg. and OPS .779.

The latest target is outfielder Cody Ross.  The 2010 playoff hero is obviously not the type of player that is going to carry the team, but Cody Ross could provide some solid depth in the outfield and provide manager...

Cody Ross would A Nice Addition

Via BigAppleMetsTalk  |  January 23, 2012
The Mets have been rumored to have interest in free agent outfielder Cody Ross. Cody would be a very nice addition to a weak hitting bench. He also has the ability to start if needed.
