Lunch Break – 2/5
Thursday, February 5th, 2009A few links to get you through the rest of the day while you try to keep track of this Britney Spears-Miley Cyrus feud that’s going down.
In case you missed it, we did our initial projection of the Rays’ 25-man roster today. Not sure there are any surprises here.
36-year-old Cliff Floyd and his 87-year-old knees have found a new home in San Diego. I assume he’s just going to be a pinch-hitter, though if he stays healthy the Padres could be stashing him to deal to an AL team at the deadline. (ESPN)
Also on ESPN, Rob Neyer tells the Yankees to do the rest of the AL East a favor and leave Derek Jeter at shortstop. I wholeheartedly endorse this move as someone who wants to see the Rays return to the playoffs for years to come. (ESPN)
In Rays Index’s latest Confidence Graph, Rays fans remain eternally optimistic about the future of the franchise. For the record, I was one of those who voted “9″ to both questions. (Rays Index)
A couple of days old, but it looks like Morgan Ensberg is headed to Spring Training with the Rays. Expect him to get a few hundred PAs at Durham this year. (The Heater)
