Nobody know’s what the hell is going on in Maddon’s/Sternebrg’s head. Mad scientist is flip flopping everything around these days. I’m about as lost as all the other D-Ray fans.
i have to believe they know they won’t compete this year, and are willing to wait on SPs in Durham
But they need to be more informed and reactionary to these moves, other teams make
All they have to do is go online or read a newspaper. It’s ridiculous the move’s they could of made in the offseason and could be making now. I’m sorry to say this but I’m about tired of Rocco, love the kid, he has great talent, but he should of been traded at the beginning of the year when his stock was so high. All he does is pull groins and hammy’s.
Ya they are pretty descent there. Got a couple pitchers with low era’s. Sonnanstine is our best prospect(6-3 2.35era). Got a couple young cathcers down there too that could replace Dioner. Riggans is showing potential, batting .300. They look good on paper. Probably wont transfer to anything special on the field tho, that’s just the Rays luck these days.
need to keep the team pretty much intact
hopefull Cantu and Norton/Pena will be good enough to get decent pitching prospects at deadline
neeed another good draft
Gotta agree with you steveo, they look good on paper but didn’t Jackson have good numbers before he was brought up? They can kid themselves all they want but a farm system can only take you so far, it’s time to get out the old checkbook and buy us some pitching, too bad there isn’t any for sale. I was a fan of Navarro at first but I also think it’s about time to start looking for someone else there as well. I was ready to give up on Rocco as well but I guess I forgot he hit like 48 home runs a few years back. Maybe a thought of him as a long term 1st baseman, save the hammy but what a waste of an arm. Heck if we knew the answers we’d be running our own team. Anyway GO RAYS! I’ll be watching at home, at the Trop or wherever I can!
dumbest thing would be to pay for a high priced pitcher who’s no better than what you have
when you feel you’re ready to compete, and need one or 2 studs, then do it
I actually wasn’t referring to now but rather this next offseason. Highly doubtfull we would compete this year especially with the lack of quality pitching to be had at any price right now.
