Cody Ross is expected to garner most of the time in center field . ''He's making progress,'' said Fredi Gonzalez, who will continue to use right-handed-hitting Cody Ross against some right-handers instead of going with a straight Ross/ Jacque Jones platoon in center field. I really don't who Fredi is alluding to in the part of the quote that says: "He's making progress". Let's see, in the last 6 games...
