Carl Crawford is a world class player and i'll even throw in James Shields because I think he is a decent young pitcher. <BR/><BR/>However there whole starting pitching staff has a combined team era of over 5. This will not get the job done. Hinske is a career .256 hitter. His power is gone and look for this guy to get put on the DL soon enough. <BR/><BR/>I think the Rays will be a better team than previous years. I mean its kinda hard to be worse. But they will finish well begind the Redsox and Yankees. Look for this team to battle with the Jays for 3rd place. I would be very surprised if they finish above .500.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705108.post-85190752008150177982008-05-06T18:30:00.000+01:002008-05-06T18:30:00.000+01:00They may be affordable, but on the downside you ha...They may be affordable, but on the downside you have to go to Tampa to see them.

The team has been bad every single year and the stadium is third rate. <BR/><BR/>They also went from unique colors to boring colors. That worked wonders for Arizona last season, so who knows?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
