David Price was named the American League’s “Outstanding Pitcher” as voted on by Major League Players. Price beat out Felix Hernandez and CC Sabathia. Wade Davis was one of the three finalists for “Outstanding Rookie.” That award went to Austin Jackson of Detroit. Josh Hamilton was named the “Outstanding Player,” [...]
The hometown paper of Drew Vettleson, spoke with this year’s supplemental first-round draft pick (#42 overall) for the Rays. Vettleson, an outfielder, gave some insight into how the Rays handle their top draft picks. [Vettleson and Josh Sale] hung out with the Gulf Coast Rookie League team, and returned home [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] The One Where We Discuss Crawford As A Tiger, Money For A New Park And Sonny’s Induction](http://www.raysindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/7491109_Rays_v_Orioles-150x150.jpg)
Somebody else speculated on this last week and now Ken Rosenthal confirms that the Detroit Tigers have “big interest” in Carl Crawford. We have said this before, but Crawford in a Tigers uniform makes almost too much sense. With that huge outfield, Crawford’s defense is worth far more than it [...]

The Rays have released Burt Reynolds. Sad, sad, sad. No really, they did. Reynolds was an outfield prospect that only reached single-A in three seasons. In 164 career games, he hit .248 with 10 home runs and 33 stolen bases. Damn. We had all sorts of Cannonball Run references just [...]
Every year, we ask for 12 gifts from the Rays prior to the season. Let’s look back at this year’s wishes and see which “gifts” we actually received… TWELVE shutouts — As it happens, the Rays finished the season with exactly 12 shutouts. And surprising to us, half of those [...]
Last week we looked at the 2011 25-man roster, now let’s gander at the 2011 40-man roster and payroll projection. Notes on the projection can be found after the table… Notes on the 40-man projection… A legend for the table can be found below after the jump. This projection is [...]
The Rays Confidence Graph is a look at how much confidence Rays fans have in the Tampa Bay Rays. The graph is designed to give us a look at how our emotional bias as Rays fans fluctuates through time. The “confidence” in the team is an inexact measure of how [...]
