The Amazing Cody Ross

On opening day 2008, chances are that Hanley will lead off and play short. After that, there are no certainties on the Marlins roster, although there are a couple of near certainties: Hermida will almost certainly be in right. Willingham will be in the lineup.

I want to put in a plug for Cody Ross. The guy's stats, when he played (60 odd games and about 200 plate appearances) are just wonderful--Miggy's OPS was .965, Ross's was 1.065. For comparison, Beltran's OPS was .878. 

I'm guessing he's going to be in center, although the Marlins list him on the depth chart in left.
