this seems to me a very low-risk move. it’s under a million per year (if i read it correctly), and gives the rays more (cheap) possibilities at positions where they likely have needs in the near future (of–especially lf–and 1b). this may be important for the team, and if anderson does anything at all, the rays might be able to trade him if they don’t need him. seems smart to me…

[...] when will anyone in the mainstream media call out guys like Steve Henson (or Rick Telander or Jon Heyman) for hurling such accusations the way they called out blogger Jerrod Morris for doing something [...]

CC isn’t even one of the top 3 position players on the squad… and no matter what- the Rays can’t afford him. Keeping him would be mortgaging the future…. there’s a mile between CC’s history and the Rays’ future.

This move baffles me, but the braintrust has earned my trust. I do have to admit that a few of these signings are starting to become head-scratchers…

Joyce and Zobrist both play the corners well. You are correct DJ is no sure thing, but the Rays have options for LF…. and they wont cost $15 million per year.

Yeah, but read the post below — Jennings is very injury prone. We tend to talk about Jennings as a sure bet as a top performing major league performer, but you never know…..

And to be honest it makes no sense to sign him, yeah he’s a great player, but with Jennings MLB ready finically it isn’t worth the money for the Rays at least.

Comment on Projected 2010 Tampa Bay Rays 25-Man Roster by Jason Collette

Given he has 3 yrs service time now, he could just outright refuse an assignment even if he did have an option. I wish he had one – it sure would make the roster situation easier. Unless Joyce’s elbow is serious, I think Brignac gets the axe because they’re not going to want to start his clock only to have him sit the bench and be the Sunday shortstop. Sure, he’s had 767 AAA at bats already but irregular time for him as the guy who will be the starting SS in 2011 probably isn’t the best thing.

Regardless of willy’s options, we have to keep brignac and rodzilla (is it ok to have two godzilla references on the same team?). Whether we work a trade (pena?, willy?), get creative with the DL (pena?, kapler?, willy?, joyce?), or outright release someone, the cajun and seanjohn have earned the spot. On a side note, what happened to Wade today?
