We must not think Loney gives us quite enough strike outs...

I'm guessing he'll break out the razor if those zero's get long enough.

and back to the game - have you guys visited the rays site and checked on the progress of the push for Latin American program.  More pitching on the way - and as it the Rays way - stunning talents...

I like Niemann, but if they get anything of value for him - do it.  Shoulda done the deal w/the Pirates for Bay during the WS run.  He might have been able to make the WS a closer match, and Niemann and Brignac were worth that risk.

Hell yeah. Now we're getting next to peanuts for him.

wouldn't that be something - imagine the rays with an effective lineup OFFENSIVELY...

5-1 on the spring.  Beckam and Scott in on the action today.   Johnson and Anderson played left some today.
