Not sure why you don't send Gross out there full time to see if he can hit lefties at all. He basically would just need like a 700 OPS against them to make him a decent CFer. If I'm GM, Gross is my starting CFer and leadoff batter next year. I think he looked just as good if not better defensively as Clark. Also, if someone posts a .380, .381, and .380 OBP in AAA in each of three consecutive years and a career minor league total of .381, I think you can tell what type of player he is. He will consistently get on base. The question is whether his stats and talent would translate into the bigs. His first two tries were a bit weak - .311 in 148 PA's and .324 in 102 PA's, but last year he finally broke through, and posted a shocking .382 in 244 I think that shows that he's likely to continue to get on base in the bigs. He even was 14 of 16 in SB attempts in '05 (102 games in AAA), but that's not what I care about. If you can get on base at a .380 clip, you are my leadoff hitter.
