Well, I had to create a wordpress account to post this, but it needed to be said. I’m really sorry to hear this. I know you guys don’t get paid for this one, so I’m sure it’s difficult to find the time to post, but I’ve always enjoyed everything you guys have written. I’ve gained a better understanding of the game and the Rays’ philosophy, and it’s due to you. Good luck with all ya’ll do in the future, and I’ll definitely be following ya’ll elsewhere. Any plans for these articles to be archived for a time?

Sad,….wish more people would have responded to some of the topics posted here. It served as another vehicle other to express opinions in a different setting than DRB

Comment on A Thought Experiment About Trading Johnny Damon by professortwain

I think that trading Damon would be a major PR blunder, and Rays management won’t do it. Remember the big production the Rays made about signing Damon? From the start he has played the card of “local boy, a fan of this team, I want to stay here forever”, and whether you think that is hokum or not, he has played it well, and he’s become a fan favorite.

I think Damon desperately wants to get his 3,000 hits and that he would play for a reduced salary to stay for the two years it will take to get them. As long as his play remains as good as it has been, and he continues to add positive energy to the team, I think he could be an exception to the Rays’ usual strategies emphasizing youth and cheap production.

Comment on Does Jose Reyes Make Sense For The Rays? by R.J. Anderson

I had him included in the original draft, but as you can imagine, I figured the production this season, the inherent injury risk, and price tag might make him too risky. Then again, he could be a great buy-low candidate if the Dodgers are willing to eat some of his money in order to dump the rest of the contract.

What do you think of Rafael Furcal as a target?
