I read that because of having Hellickson ready to go, that they wouldn't be opposed to dealing Garze
for a big bat. Anyone hear any concrete talk of that happening or is that just writer/internet fodder?

Definitely is being discussed IMO. The FO may feel they can't sign him longterm, so get something for him now while a ring is within reach.Lots of rumors floating about Garza, Upton, etc....for Corey Hart, Adam Dunn, etc. I'd believe anything...as long as it's not trading Hellickson or Jennings for a rent-a-player.Although a Price/Neimann/Shields rotation in the playoffs is scary. Would much rather it be Price/Neimann/Garza.I read that because of having Hellickson ready to go, that they wouldn't be opposed to dealing Garzefor a big bat.

Garza isn't going anywhere this season. Maybe in the off-season, but not now. They're too close to trade a guy of his caliber who has major post-season experience.
Gump > Briggy will be the everyday SS next year. Rodriguez will likely be the second baseman. Bartlett will be gone.

Yea...that was a little sarcastic. I've almost had it with BJ. If he could just muster up a .260 BA, play gold glove CF, and not make bone-headed mistakes once a week I'd love him. That's looking less and less likely by the day.Jennings moves to LF next season...Perez is hitting what .200 at AAA? So not sure we really have any other options. Unless you move Zobrist or Joyce to CF...assuming Joyce can be better.

Really hope they can make this happen. Werth's battering average with runner's in scoring position this year is pretty bad (.167 I believe)

It's nice to be able to rely on the defense of guys like Longoria, Bartlett, Pena, and Upton when they're not hitting.Brignac seems to be stepping it up defensively lately too.

Great game last night, excellent game tonight
These are the best two teams in baseball IMO and are VERY evenly matched

Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times reports that Jeremy Hellickson will be called up to start on Monday against the Twins.
Rays manager Joe Maddon made it clear Saturday that Hellickson will not be joining the rotation permanently. He'll simply provide the other five Tampa starters with an extra day of rest. The 23-year-old right-hander has thrown together a 2.45 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 123 strikeouts in 117 2/3 innings this season at Triple-A Durham and may be worth a shot in deeper mixed formats.

I'd give the edge to Tampa's Manager and front office... Payroll and Average/Player1. New York Yankees $206,333,389 $8,253,336...21. Tampa Bay Rays $71,923,471 $2,663,832

So I would think he's cementing the everyday DH spot and the 4 or 5 in the lineup.Can he play anything other than OF? Could we use him to backup Pena/Longo instead of Aybar?

I know they said that they were optioning him back to Durham, but couldn't they keep him up here and go with a six man rotation? More rest for everyone.

8-1 homestand. Alone in first. Awesome.
Dan Johnson looked good too. Two walks and a hard hit ball to center. I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of him. My guess, vs righties
Zobrist, 2B
Crawford
Longoria
Pena, 1B
Joyce, RF
Upton
Johnson, DH
Jaso
Bartlett
With Brignac mixed in occasionally.

It would be fantastic. More ammunition for the owner to move to Tampa, more pressure on the St Pete leadership.

Yea for the long-term health of the franchise, it certainly doesn't hurt to see. You can count on that being used as an example, oh, 500 times in the next year.As for today, it sucked.

Actually, the two have nothing to do with each other. They're still a very good team; just one with the propensity to get no-hit. It's a fluky thing.

He probably is, but he's also on an innings pitched limit, and he's nearing it. I'd rather save him for late-September/October in the bullpen or spot starts.gump said:
Nice 8th inning by the big 4.
