Ex-Rays player Elijah Dukes arrested

Posted January 22, 2013 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Elijah Dukes
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Rays
Police say former Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes has been arrested on a warrant related to previous drug charges. Tampa police say the 28-year-old Dukes was arrested Monday night. He's also been charged with an additional count of driving with a suspended license. Records show Dukes had failed to appear in court for charges related to a February 2012 arrest. That's when police say they pulled over Dukes during a routine traffic stop and caught him trying to eat marijuana out of bag. He was charged with tampering with physical evidence, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Dukes was in jail Tuesday with no bail set. Jail records didn't list an attorney.

Rays Rumors: Tampa Bay Eyeing DH Candidates

Via MLB Injury News  |  January 21, 2013
The Tampa Bay Rays could continue to be in the market for another bat, and they are expected to target either a designated hitter or outfielder, according to Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times. The DH spot is wide open, and a free agent seems likely, though the money, of course, will be a factor as the payroll is already in the $55 million range (plus incentives) and thus...

How patient will Rays be on Wil Myers?

Via The Flagrant Fan  |  January 23, 2013
The recent acquisition of Shelley Duncan gives the Rays a bit more reliability in their left-field platoon paired with Sam Fuld. Duncan is a known quantity with a career .755 OPS against left-handed starters. Duncan can also provide the same flexibility with lefty-swinging James Loney at first base. Duncan blunts a bit of the question mark of if Brandon Guyer will ever hit major...

Shaffer talked about his game when the short-season Hudson Valley Renegades visited Boston to play in the Futures...
