Rays Sign Joe Nelson
Posted: 24th December 2008 by Devon Rogers in Active Ex-Rays, Hot StoveTags: Active Ex-Rays, Nelson, RF, RP, Signing
The Rays have gotten to put their first gift under the tree. The Rays have signed 34 year old righty Joe Nelson, formerly with the Marlins, to a one year deal worth 1.3 Million. A pretty good add in my opinion. This will just help bolster an already strong bullpen from last season. He will [...]
Bye Bye E-Jax
Posted: 11th December 2008 by Devon Rogers in Active Ex-Rays, Hot StoveTags: Active Ex-Rays, E-Jax, Matt Joyce
The Rays have traded Edwin Jackson to the Tigers for Matt Joyce. I know what your thinking, WHO? Well, in Matt Joyce’s rookie year last year, he hit .242 and had 12 homers in 242 AB’s. He is a Tampa native who will likely start at right. On the Rays side, the trade makes room [...]
Winter Meetings Day one
Posted: 9th December 2008 by Devon Rogers in Active Ex-Rays, Hot StoveTags: Active Ex-Rays, Bradley, Burrell, Hot Stove, poll, Rocco
The Rays sat down for lunch with Milton Bradley. We seem to be the best fit for him and we need a good DH. It has appeared that he is getting his anger issues figured out and I don’t think that will be an issue. I vote Bradley as the one we sign. He is [...]

Offseason GM Move Contest
Posted: 28th November 2008 by Devon Rogers in Active Ex-Rays, Hot StoveTags: Active Ex-Rays, Contest
The Rays are off to their usual ridiculously slow start to the offseason. All they’ve accomplished so far is they have released a great bullpen guy in Trever Miller, and added three to the 40 man. I have gotten a lot of time to think since there is no Rays news to talk about. It [...]
Say it Ain’t So!!!!

The Rays have fired Kelly Frank, who plays Raymond, for no apparent reason. http://blogs.tampabay.com/rays/ Performer Kelly Frank, the woman who perfected Raymond’s trademark butt shimmy, said she does not know why she was fired Monday after five seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays. “I’m just as confused as everyone else,” she said. “I really didn’t [...]
