I'm also expecting another daughter to be born any minute. So, things for me are rather up in the air. I apologize for not giving a heads up earlier. I'll do what I can when I can.

Is it a Devil Ray or Tampa Ray that shows up tomorrow? Poor Niemann pitches very well and the Rays STILL cannot win. 2-1 loss. Is it a Devil Ray or Tampa Ray that shows up tomorrow?

Picture him coming out in ninth...the height and velocity leading to a dominating closer. Not sure if it could be reality, but always looked forward to it. Rotation: Garza Price Shields Davis Sonny or Talbot Pen: Sonny or Talbot Niemann (closer) Balfour (possible closer) Thayer Lefty specialist etc etc CharlieRay-

I also do not see Kapler as part of the solution. Joyce showed last year with the Tigs that he can handle the majors and his current work at AAA shows he is pretty ready. The bullpen really worries me as it is a jumble of people with no sense of stablized strategy playing out. I also think - hindsight is great - that Jackson should have stayed in Tampa.

The first fix I would make would be to dump Kap and bring up Joyce. That would help with freeing up Zob to play more 2nd base. Brig is still unproven and sure helped to blow that game with his throw error. BillG, I agree but think Navi & Sonny are on the turn around.
