Fantasy Notes: Free Willy (RotoRob)

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:28:04 GMT

Perhaps we were a tad premature in our indictment of Willy Aybar earlier this month. Perhaps all he needed was a little RotoRob dissing to get his act together. He’s been on a serious tear the past week and is suddenly looking like a decent AL-only bet. With Evan Longoria out, Aybar is playing everyday [...]

Rash of injuries has not derailed Rays' remarkable run (International Herald Tribune)

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 14:24:40 GMT

Despite a below-average offense, the suddenly and strikingly good Tampa Bay Rays tempted fate at the July 31 trade deadline by not acquiring an impact hitter. So when the Rays soon lost two of their top hitters to injuries - the veteran Carl Crawford and the rookie Evan Longoria - it looked as if fate had answered, cruelly. Yet those expecting a Rays collapse are still waiting.

Rays Gain Ground On Road Trip (TBO > Sports)

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:34:29 GMT

When the Rays departed Tropicana Field nearly two weeks ago, Joe Maddon hoped his team would be able to break even on a 10-game trip to Seattle, Oakland and Texas. And that was before he knew he would lose three key players - Carl Crawford, Evan Longoria and Troy Percival - along the way.

Youk For MVP? (Fenway West)

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:56:00 GMT

Is there a player in the American League that has been more valuable to his team than Kevin Youkilis this season? A strong argument can be made for Tampa's Evan Longoria, but I think Youk beats him out. Let's look at his current numbers: He is second in batting average for the AL at .322 (just 1 point behind Pedroia). He is tied for 10th in HR's and is 5th in RBI's. Youk has been a monster...

[BARRY BONDS] 'The Sabean Corollary' Proves Rays Should Not Sign Barry Bonds (Rays Index)

noreply@blogger.com (The Professor) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:15:00 GMT

Now that Carl Crawford is going to be lost for the remainder of the regular season and Evan Longoria is out for 3 weeks, some think the Rays need to sign Barry Bonds more than ever. After months of saying the Rays wouldn't , yesterday we finally warmed-up a bit to the idea of the all-time home run king in a Rays uniform. But then we figured out why the Rays should absolutely, positively...

Am I the only baseball fan who doesn't think the Tampa bay Rays' AL East lead of four games is big enough to withstand the loss of Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria and that the team's inability to add a big bat at the trade deadline looks even worse? From the St. Petersburg Times , this is how the Rays intend to patch these line-up holes: "Justin Ruggiano was recalled from Triple-A Durham...

THE GOOD: The loss of Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria to the DL was relieved a little on Sunday when Rocco Baldelli was activated from the DL and made the start in right field. He played the first 5 innings, before being replaced by Gabe Gross . It was Rocco's first game since May of '07 and he drove in a run, going 1-4...The Rays now have a 95.9% chance of making the playoffs. That...
