Scott Kazmir, DH in Disguise
Posted: 30th March 2009 by Devon Rogers in UncategorizedTags: Active Ex-Rays, kaz, magic, ST
Historically, Scott Kazmir is a terrible hitter. In his career, he is 1 for 8 with an RBI. That is compared to our best hitting pitcher, Andy Sonnanstine, who is 4 for 10 in his 2 year career. It is safe to say that Kaz is meant for the American League. Coming in to Sunday, [...]

Not to worry, it’s only the alternate. It will debut March first against the Red Sox. Pretty good, I think. Not much has changed, only the blue trim, but it stands out more.

The Rays have designated Jae Kuk Ryu (Pronounced KOOK YOU!!!!) for assignment to make room for Gabe Kapler. The Rays have announced 620 WDAE as their Tampa Bay Radio affiliate.

http://blogs.tampabay.com/rays/2009/01/rays-sign-kaple.html#comments The deal is for one year worth $ 1 million. Kapler hit .301 with 8 HR and 38 RBI’s in a part time roll with the Brew Crew last year. Kapler is a great hitter against lefties and will likely be used as a right field platoon with Matt Joyce.
