Like the tie in of corporate America as that is one of the things that sparked this blog. Be careful calling the Rays “junk” as they have had good development in the minors for the past few years. They have been stockpiling their system with outfielders (Crawford, Baldelli, Delmon Young) They just inked Evan Longoria to a long term deal and have gotten fine pitching perfomances from their young pitchers this year. Josh Hamilton was their big fish that got away(he was their #1 pick overall in the 1999 draft). You saw Kazmir mow down the texas lineup last night. I will go out on a limb and predict that Tampa finishes 2nd in the division. If you were going to do the best economical team over the last 10 years, I can tell you without a doubt it would be Oakland. Billy Beane has been crowned the master at Moneyball.
