Stuart Sternberg held court with the media in Port Charlotte yesterday. His comments are transcribed below and we have highlighted a few of the more telling passages. Here’s the video… On the upcoming season: “We’re optimistic, we’re happy, we’re excited. It’s been an eventful, yet uneventful, off-season. We did some [...]
It’s a slow news day. And as a former catcher, I tend to obsess over what the Rays do behind the plate. Needless to say, we are pretty excited that Jose Molina will be back there for 90-100 games this season. And in doing so, we hope this is catching [...]

For example… Ticket Alert: Score $1 tickets (reg. $7) to @umichwbball vs. Northwestern tonight @ [...]

When the San Diego Padres took Matt Bush as the first pick of the 2004 draft, most thought they chose a questionable option because of his cheaper price. And when Bush struggled to hit in single-A, most assumed he would never make it to the big leagues and he was [...]

The Durham Bulls are the latest team to go black-for-black’s-sake on their uniform, by adding an alternate cap for the 2012 season (seen below). Crash Davis does not approve.
The Rays announced today that Joe Maddon will use a 6-man rotation during spring training and David Price will start the spring opener on Saturday (via Marc Topkin of TampaBay.com). Of course, the 6-man rotation isn’t a surprise. Even if somebody is moved to the bullpen, Maddon will want all [...]
