    Braves McCann's Backup

    The Braves are close to signing David Ross to a two-year contract to back up Brian McCann.
    Ross certainly could have gotten more playing time elsewhere, but perhaps not a multiyear deal. He's a better player than probably a half-dozen of the players who will enter 2009 as starting catchers.
    A return the NL will do him some good. A good pickup for the Braves!!

    Re: McCann's Backup

    I have to agree, very solid acquisition for the Braves.
    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett
