I don't think Maddon has ever really liked Gomes

He used him rarely. It’s a shame.

We have 9 players with an .eqa over .260

3 of them aren’t on our 25 man roster. Fun.

by P Brady on May 8, 2008 7:20 PM EDT   0 recs

Which raises the question

How nice will it be to have Aybar/Floyd back?

by websterjtc on May 8, 2008 7:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

haha, i love keith law…

James (Middletown, NJ): Did you see Dusty Let Volquez throw 120+ pitches yesterday. Here we go again.

SportsNation Keith Law: Unbelievable, except for the part that’s totally believable. They had a 9-0 lead. And it’s barely May. All Dusty apologists, please line up against that wall over there for your executions.

by websterjtc on May 8, 2008 7:36 PM EDT   0 recs

Law is pretty good at this baseball thing.

i’ll post the Rays related KLaw questions on here for those that haven’t seen them unless it’s been done already

by websterjtc on May 8, 2008 7:43 PM EDT   0 recs

Dave (Tampa, FL): Who do think the Rays take #1?

SportsNation Keith Law: Posey or Tim Beckham. Outside chance for Alvarez or Matusz.

Craig (PA): Whatever happened to Scott Elbert?

SportsNation Keith Law: Shoulder surgery last May. I took some criticism for leaving him off of my prospect rankings this offseason, but shoulder surgeries are serious business for pitchers, and most pitchers who have one either don’t come back at all or come back with less stuff. Will Kline of Tampa Bay is in that boat now, out for the year, probably won’t have the same velo when he returns.

Speaking of fake Canadian accents, the lack of crowd noise on the Rays telecast made me switch over to the Jays telecast. What’s that all aboot?
