Silverman and Rays on radio today

The Rays kept their train going today when they stopped by 620 to discuss the new jerseys and new logo. Rocco Baldelli, Matt Silverman, Joe Maddon were just some of the guests. A couple of things I found interesting were:

  • Rocco says he feels fine and that his hamstrings are fine and he is ready to come and play hard in ST. (Maybe they can get something for him)
  • Silverman said that they are going to take care of their guys first and than move on to FA. He mentioned that Pena had earned a payday last year and he would get it. (Great to say, but thats up to Boras as well)
  • Regarding Kazmir they said that he will get his payday through arbitration this year, and they would like to sign him to a long deal, but it would have to be at the right price.
  • Didn't know if anyone heard this on the radio.

    Pena
    I'm not sure if I want us to re-sign him or not; I guess it depends on the money, but he's still ours for another two seasons, if he were to revert (nothing says he will) we'd have a buffer period rather than a commitment.

    That being said the good press and feelings from locking down a nearly 30 year old 1B with huge power numbers might be worth the risk.

    Re: Pena
    I think they have the same feeling RJ. I have a feeling they are going to try and do a long deal, but Boras will want too much so they will go to Arbitration for this year and work on something during next year. Kind of like a Tony Romo thing. Thats my thought
