Glad to see Aki back in the line up.
Don't fret Fin...he's still bending the Sox pitching over his knee on a consistent basis.
No doubt....over 1/4 of his RBIs come against the Sox. It's ridiculous. I like the kid but he's been a bit of a disappointment. I'm starting to wonder if some of the scout missed the mark on guys like Price, Upton and Longoria. Longo will come around, most likely but I guess only time will tell with Price and Upton.gump said:
shut upYou could already argue that Price justified his draft pick with his playoff performance last year. Without a power arm like that coming out of the bullpen, it's unlikely the Rays beat the Sox ( 
) and make it to the World Series.
They should be in the thick of it again next year, but this was a tough season to swallow. They were just never able to make a run. Hopefully it was just a post-WS hangover.
They obviously need some pen help, but a guy like Nick Johnson wouldn't be bad at all for that offense. High OBP guy, probably won't be too expensive because of injury concerns. But when healthy, he is a very solid hitter.Rotation is solid. No need to make any moves there. They are about the only team in the majors who have that luxury.Well, Wade Davis looked great. Along with Niemann and Price, three pretty impressive rookies this year. Add to Garza and Shields and they should have a nice rotation next year....which is all we have to look forward to now. It was a good run.They should be in the thick of it again next year, but this was a tough season to swallow. They were just never able to make a run. Hopefully it was just a post-WS hangover.
Nick would be nice, but they would need to unload Burrell. Not sure it's possible, and he's probably going to bounce back next year. The rotation is the main reason Rays fans can relax. As long as one of Davis, Price or Garza become an 'ace' they'll be in great shape. And all three have the stuff to do it.Balco said:They obviously need some pen help, but a guy like Nick Johnson wouldn't be bad at all for that offense.

Why do you mock me?
oh dear god, light blue Sunday uni's? I love the dark blue ones
Yup. Main reason I'm not too upset over this year. They took a step back, but as the dumb cliche goes, sometimes you have to do that to step forward.Price and Niemann won't be rookies next season, and I expect a huge year out of Garza.
come on, describe it..
