Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe brings up an interesting wrinkle in the Cody Ross broken foot saga. Namely, that Ross might not end up on the disabled list at all:

If you were wondering why no official move for Scott Podsednik's call to the majors had been announced, it's because of this -- if Ross doesn't need to go on the DL, then Podsednik will be right back on a bus to Pawtucket.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves -- the second opinion won't necessarily be different than the first. But there's at least a chance we can remain in a Podsednik-free existence a little longer.
