Solving The Rays’ Rotation Crunch
Alternate post title: Wade Davis, The Reliever
I’ll admit it: when Andrew Friedman said at the beginning of the off-season that the Rays didn’t need to trade a starter, I called bull. It’s no secret that the Rays have a glut of major-league-ready starting pitching, with seven starters who could theoretically be in the opening day rotation*, so I wrote off Friedman’s...
Sun Sports to televise 150 Rays games in 2012
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Sun Sports will produce and televise 150 Tampa Bay Rays games in high definition during the 2012 Major League Baseball season.

B.J. Upton Player Projection No 63
Key Stats: Upton has had two seasons where he put up a respectable average to go along with his power and speed. Unfortunately, it's been 3 years since those two seasons have passed. There is good news though. Upton is assured a starting job, and he is assured of finishing in the neighborhood of 20 HR's and 40 steals. That kind of power and speed combination is tough to come...
Ben Zobrist Player Projection No. 62
Key Stats: Ben Zobrist has been ranked 41st and 39th according to the Yahoo player rater in two out of the last three seasons. Last season he did not hit for as many home runs as he did in his breakout 2009 season, but he did have a career best 46 doubles - good for third in the AL.
Skeptics Say: Even though the 2009 and 2011 seasons appear to indicate Zobrist is a consistent player...
Player Profile #70: James Shields | SP | TB
On March 1 of last season I wrote a post called “6 Reasons Why You Should Draft James Shields.” At the time of that post’s writing, Shields had an ADP of 209. After a stunning turnaround last season, Shields now has an ADP of 68. He’s not without his concerns entering this season, but so much of what Shields did last season is completely repeatable, and that...
Player Profile #74: Ben Zobrist | 2B/OF | TB
Remember that Rays-Twins doubleheader on April 28 when Ben Zobrist erupted for 10 RBI, going 7-for-10 with two homers, five runs scored and a stolen base? I do. If you remove that one day from Zobrist’s 2011 stat line, he finishes the season with a line of 95 runs, 18 homers, 81 RBI, 18 steals and a .261 average. Those stats would have ranked 85th last season instead of 40th...
