The Candidates:

Dave Silvestri(1998), Joe Kennedy(2001-2003), Charles Gipson(2004), Kevin Cash(2005), Raul Casanova(2007),

Dave Silvestri played in 9 games where he had 1 hit and batted .071 with the D-Rays in 1998.

Joe Kennedy earned 18 wins while sporting a 4.98 ERA, 6 complete games (most in Devil Rays history), 264 strikeouts, and pitched 448.0 innings of service. Kennedy was traded as part of a 3-team trade by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to the Colorado Rockies. The Colorado Rockies sent Justin Speier to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Toronto Blue Jays sent a player to be named later to the Colorado Rockies. The Toronto Blue Jays sent Mark Hendrickson to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Toronto Blue Jays sent Sandy Nin (minors) (December 15, 2003) to the Colorado Rockies to complete the trade.

Charles Gipson played in 5 games where he had 2 hits, stole 1 base, and batted .500.

Kevin Cash Traded by the Toronto Blue Jays to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for Chad Gaudin. Cash played in 13 games where he had 5 hits, 1 double, 2 homeruns, and batted .166.

Raul Cassanova played in 29 games where he had 20 hits, 1 double, 1 triple, 6 homeruns, 11 RBIs, and batted .253.

Why?

Are you a big fan of Tim Laker or Felix Martinez? Or just a big fan of blogging on Thanksgiving?

Man that pregnant chick looks pretty good

A lot better than the Bill Parcells stand-in on the left.

I'm a writer.

I just thought she was fat.

The guy behind her is saying “lady, can you suck in your gut, I am trying to watch the game!” Bill Parcells? I thought he looked like a fat John Kerry, personally.

Let's go Largo!
