Hey guys. I waz bored so I decided to make my 2012 Rays.

Catcher: Since our catchers last yr weren't so good, I wud try trading for Texas' Taylor Teagarden. They seem to have run out of chances for him so he should b easy to get.

1st Base: I figured they cud reach a deal with the Reds for Shields for Alonso maybe a few players thrown in to make something like this James Shields and J.P. Howell for Yonder Alonso, Jose Arredondo and maybe Yasmani Grandal to fill it out.

DH: I definitely want the Rays to sign Jonny Gomes he is a right handed power bat who cud possibly compliment Matt Joyce against lefties. If there is enough money you could sign either Posada or Damon to add some roster depth.

Since these are the main changes I wud make aside from some small bench or bullpen additions here's how the roster would look:

c - Taylor Teagarden
1B- Yonder Alonso
2B - Ben Zobrist
3B - Evan Longoria
SS - Sean Rodriguez
LF - Desmond Jennings
CF - B.J. Upton
RF - Matt Joyce
DH - Jorge Posada/Johnny Damon

ST1 - David Price
ST2 - Jeremy Hellickson
ST3 - Matt Moore
ST4 - Wade Davis
ST5 - Jeff Niemann

Bullpen - CL - Farnsworth
Jose Arredondo
Jake McGee
Brandon Gomes
Joel Peralta
Alex Torres
Andy Sonnanstine

Bench: Jaso/Chirnos, Jonny Gomes, Fuld/Guyer, Brignac/Johnson


The team's already pretty much in place but I think they cud keep up with the Yankees and Red Sox with these additions with their already beast pitching staff.
