Word is the Reds are about to deal C Jason LaRue to the Royals for a PTBNL. This has two fantasy implications.
The first is 21 HR catcher Dave Ross is considered legit by the Reds organization. I tend to agree despite getting burned by him in 2004 following his 10 HR/124AB 2003 season.
Even at $9 or $10, Ross carries little risk.
The more interesting implication is the plunge in draft value that will happen to 26-year-old John Buck. He's a $5 catcher anyhow, but with LaRue, he'll be a $1 at the end of the draft.
And for $1, I love him.
