Arriving

Hello Devil Rays fans! Patrick Kennedy here, some of you might know me as mrprezz from RaysBaseball, or from my two previous Devil Ray blogs, Hoo-Rays and the Devil Rays Daily Report. Well, I am here thanks to David, who was so nice in letting me join his team on one of the best baseball blogs around.

I am one of the youngest bloggers in the internet community, I am only 14, but my baseball know-how is hard to match. I am from St. Petersburg, Florida, but I go to school in North Pinellas County. I attend about 20 Devil Rays games annually, plus many more in Spring Training. The Rays are, without a doubt, my favorite sports team, though I wouldn't call myself a blind optimist.

I come to replace Mr. Jim Wisinski, who, without a doubt, is one of the most well-informed baseball fans around. Certainly, filling the shoes of someone as smart and as cool as he is will be hard, but I think I am up to the task. In the end though, that is for you to decide, and I hope that in the coming weeks and months, you will appreciate my writings.

Once again, I am glad to be here, and wish all of you a great rest of the baseball season as we shoot for a great end to a great second half!

                 Yours Truly,
                Patrick Kennedy
