*Maddon said OF Rocco Baldelli is pretty much ready to be activated, but the other injuries the Rays have had to deal with are impacting when he'll come back. Baldelli will travel with the Rays on their upcoming road trip.

It really freaking needs to be for Floyd.

Seriously.

sigh

yeah. Its amazing that we’ve gotten this far and we don’t even have the best 25 guys on the 40-man roster active.

I agree

I’ve been in Aybar’s corner for the majority of the season, but at this point I actually believe that Zobrist is more valuable to the team.

Fine chap,

good hustle.

Not lost, just conformed to a clear internet reality.

Also, stop sharing sarcasm with the SP Times readers.

Joe Maddon doesn’t care about black people.

It's only sarcastic if they realize I'm not being serious

And I seriously doubt they do.

Look, Aybar is out of optioins. Zobrist does not...We can deal with not having Zobrist until September 1st. We'd just have Aybar instead of Zobrist for like two weeks. Then in September we can have them all.

9 = 8

by websterjtc on Aug 7, 2008 9:06 AM EDT up 0 recs

Zobrist is not...

It just doesn’t make sense to DFA Aybar two weeks before September 1st.

9 = 8

by websterjtc on Aug 7, 2008 9:07 AM EDT up 0 recs

But then

We’d be stuck with Aybar over Zobrist for the playoffs, and honestly, Zobrist absolutely needs to be on the playoff roster.

There are ways of keeping both of them though.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

by Brickhaus on Aug 7, 2008 11:11 AM EDT up 0 recs

zobrist can still be on the playoff roster if there is one

he has played in the majors before aug 31st so he is eligilble to be on the playoff roster IF there is one

Longo=ROY. Friedman=Executive of the year. Maddon=Manager of the year. Rays=WS champs 08! fiddler cat=best way to show your excitement. BJ UPTON IS NOT LAZY! ! ! Gabe Gross=caption clutch.
