B.J. Upton To Be Placed On 15-Day DL

by Tommy Rancel on Apr 1, 2009 12:32 PM EDT

No surprise here, but B.J. Upton will be added to the 15-Day DL along with Jason Isringhausen, Chad Bradford and Fernando Perez. Perez and Bradford could be moved to the 60-Day DL later if an addition 40-man roster spot is needed. The DL stints will be retroactive to March 27th. We've discussed the signficance of that date before. Upton will be eligible to return on April 11th with all eyes set on the April 13th home opener as his return. In the meantime, Upton is expected to stick around in Port Charlotte and work with the Class-A Stone Crabs.

So, three more players to decide on.

Niemann/Hammel/Cormier.

everything so far has been expected and good

If Friedman can work out a trade and keep Cormier, he did a perfect job…..again.

Top target? Then make us a nice offer!

The Rockies are looking for pitching. The top target is Jason Hammel of the Rays

We're not getting Carlos Gonzalez or Ian Stewart

The Rays are looking at lower level(AA and below) for prospects to restock the bottom of our own minor leagues.

Tampa’s depth is such that super-prospect David Price will open the season in Triple-A. But the Rays recognize a chance to deal from strength and add to their system. They are looking at Rockies prospects from the Double-A level down.

Also: look at the names listed for the Pads, whether that’s legit or not, they were all sub-AA.
