On the one hand, it is hard to believe that it has been five years since the 2008 team started its miraculous run. But on the other hand, it is even more difficult to believe that Elliot Johnson was the last player remaining from that season’s opening day roster. Below [...]
We knew Elliot Johnson was a long-shot to remain with the Rays organization this year, but that doesn’t mean it is not sad to see him go. In addition to being one of those easy-to-root-for underdogs as an undrafted free agent, he was also one of the more colorful characters [...]
Elliot Johnson, who was designated for assignment and removed from the 40-man roster last week, has been traded to the Royals as the “player to be named later” in the James Shields-Wade Davis-Wil Myers trade (via Marc Topkin).
The Rays have announced that they designated Reid Brignac and Elliot Johnson for assignment. The Rays needed to clear up space on the 40-man roster and both players, who were out of minor league options*, were unlikely to make the opening day roster. The Rays have ten days to trade [...]

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. RAYS 7, Red Sox 4 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Savior of the Universe. Flash Jennings had 3 hits, but none was bigger than 2-run, game-tying single in [...]
Prior to yesterday’s game, a fan addressed a message to Elliot Johnson on Twitter… @ElliotJohnson9 @DAVIDprice14 We are in the lot, we have chairs waiting you want to come out, maybe play catch? Well, Johnson saw the message and went to the parking lot in his uniform (sans jersey) and proceeded to [...]
![[THE HANGOVER] The One Where We Discuss Moore’s Fate, Maddon’s Schedule, And EJ’s Rough Night](http://www.raysindex.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/uspw_6551910-150x150.jpg)
The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe. Yankees 6, RAYS 4 (boxscore) THE GOOD: Matt Moore. Anytime a rookie works into the 7th inning, strikes out 9 and walks just 1 Yankee, that [...]
