Today, we'll discuss the number "25"
The Candidates:
Russ Johnson(2000-2002), Matt Diaz(2003-2004), Damion Easley(2003)
Russ Johnson was traded by the Houston Astros for Marc Valdes in 2000. Johnson played in 204 games where he had 144 hits, 32 doubles, 2 triples, 7 homeruns, 35 RBIs, and batted .265. Russ Johnson would traded to the New York Mets in 2002 for Rey Ordonez.
Matt Diaz played in 14 games where he had 5 hits, 1 double, 1 homerun, 3 RBIs, and batted .167.
Damion Easley played in 36 games where he batted .187 and had 20 hits with 7 RBIs.
So, Draysbay, I turn to you. Who was the greatest (Devil) Rays player while wearing the number "25?"

Wow, what a low-quality stock of choices.
If someone as marginal as Lance Cormier was on this list, he’d win by a landslide.

No offense to the players above, but I think that this is the weakest bunch out of all the numbers.
I seriously thought about putting bench coach Frank Howard or George Hendricks in the mix just so we can have a better selection. Up to this point #48 was the weakest, with Joe Borowski (who played in a half a season) winning. If nothing else, this exercise has shown me just how mediocre a lot of the player have been who have represented our team. I mean, there are few diamonds (or at least cubic zerconias) in the rough like Matt White or Jim Mecir who probably have been all but forgotten.
In the name of Shinji Mori, we shall win!

If I can make a suggestion.
I know it might be a lot of work, but hyperlinking to the actual polls in the list next to the winning players might be a bit of a way to spur convos in any one of these at random.
I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

it's an awesome suggestion.
So, just so I am clear, have a link on the “votes” area that would take viewer to the old poll area?

Yeah, votes takes the viewer to the poll for that day.
I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.
