Target: Cody Ross, OF
Type of move: Free agency
2012 stats: .267 batting average, 34 doubles, 22 home runs, 81 RBIs
Remember that pesky San Francisco Giants team that beat the Texas Rangers in the 2010 World Series in just five games? Well, Cody Ross was a big part of that lineup in case you've forgotten or chosen to erase it from your memory. Ross grew up a Rangers fan, and on Tuesday he reportedly met with team officials after making $3 million with the Boston Red Sox last year.
His above numbers, especially the doubles was probably helped a bit by Fenway Park's odd dimensions, but he topped 20 home runs twice before in 2008 and 2009 while playing for the Florida Marlins -- not a home-run friendly park.
Ross could play all three outfield positions for the Rangers and provide a nice veteran presence on an increasingly young team.
