The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are close to signing the former Angels closer to a multi-year deal and rumor has it that he could take over 9th inning duties for his new squad. I know he pitched last year and pitched well, but for the last half decade or so he's been the guy that gets called out at auction fantasy drafts only to have someone say "isn't he hurt?" and then get thrown back into the draft pool because an outdated magazine says he retired due to arm problems. Just my experience.
What do I know. Then again, I'm good fantasy sports and Devil Rays organization sucks at baseball.

Was Delmon Young Traded For Being (Too) Black?
In the wake of the blockbuster Twins trade, one Tampa paper proclaimed there was a 50% chance of Delmon Young turning into Elijah Dukes, while a Tampa TV station's blog said the chance was 100%.
