Tampa's 2011 Projected Lineup
mlboffseason: LF Johnny Damon 1B Ben Zobrist 3B Evan Longoria DH Manny Ramirez RF Matt Joyce CF BJ Upton C John Jaso 2B Sean Rodriguez SS Reid Brignac Certainly not a big time 1 through 9, but certainly enough to ensure that the Rays will be a pain in the ass for other A.L.

Howell and R.J. Swindle this offseason. Oh how those glasses excite me.

I just found out we lost Fernando Perez
through this trade as well. I don’t know how I missed this before, but this makes me even more sad. I liked Perez a lot.

Tampa Bay Rays eyeing Brian Fuentes as closer. →
The Tampa Bay Rays may be close to finding a new closer. They appear to be very interested in free-agent lefthander Brian Fuentes, and are trying to add him to the back end of their rebuilt bullpen. Fuentes, 35, split last season between the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins, logging 24 saves and posting a 2.81 ERA. He had a major-league leading 48 saves (and a 3.93 ERA) in 2009 for the...
