Anybody who has ever worked in a medium to large workplace knows that chemistry matters. While it is true that in good times, chemistry is usually good, it does not correlate to bad times being bad chemistry. I think past-Rays teams had an excellent ability to withstand body blows and come back. This team, not yet. Would be nice to get Price off of his bicycle and back on the mound. He’s the leader of that pitching staff and his poor performance and then his absence are showing up.

Are you Don’s daughter?

As an ex-Expos fan (I found the D-Rays after Bud murdered the Expos), this always reminds me of the greatness that was Vladdy.

Does this mean that players tolerate eachother? Are fond of eachother? Socialize together? High-five eachother? How would you measure this?

Once you’ve defined and measured it, show me a study that correlates this “chemistry” with actual productivity, whether that is in better personal statistics, or in higher winning percentage.

When you can supply those data I’ll listen.

Having played on enough sports teams in my day and having worked for years at a Mental Health organization I’ve always bought in to the importance of psychic chemistry. I hope that we’re both somewhat right here, and do agree that dose of winning streaks would solve a bunch of woes. Go Rays.

When teams win, they find a way to like eachother. When they lose, they don’t.

Show Zobrist or somebody like Ellsbury (both level)….vs Myers…..you will see the difference, or just show Myers base hit (line drive)…big difference..

Also Arizona does too, so replacing Price is not the issue. Goldscmidt’s contract breaks down as follows:

2014: $1.1 million
2015: $3.1 million
2016: $5.87 million (New tv contract expected around this time)
2017: $8.87 million
2018: $11.1 million
2019: $14.1 million

Keep in mind we are paying Price $10 million. So that opens $9 million for free agents in 2014. Also for the production Goldschmidt has and is expected to churn out, his 2019 team option is even a steal. This move is the textbook definition of a Rays move.

I have outlined a thorough intelligent argument. I am still waiting to hear who you think the Rays should get in return for Price.
