Rhymes is fast and has a good eye

Is he a better option than Elliot?

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 2:01 PM EST reply actions  

Also he plays good D and isn't Jeff Keppinger

so 2 more points for him.

Matt Moore. That is all.

Yes. This.

Can play a little OF too and also swings a better stick (in the minors at least)

Maybe not as bad of D as Kepp an Theriot

but I still think it’s pretty poor

Nah, it's actually pretty good

He didn’t make the majors for his bat, that’s for sure. He’s fast and plays good defense. He’s only in case of injury with the MIF we have but on most teams he can be a pretty good pinch runner/come in late for defense.

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 3:13 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't think so

but he’s fine organizational depth, and (as I’ve said 80 bazillion times), Elliot isn’t making the 2012 roster anyway.

by AndrewTorrez on Jan 19, 2012 2:04 PM EST up reply actions  

I don't want him, you don't want him to

His lack of options might make the team anyway.

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 2:05 PM EST up reply actions  

Elliot Johnson will be on the opening day roster.

And his lack of options is definitely a big part of that.

by ega05me on Jan 19, 2012 3:58 PM EST up reply actions  

This. We hated on him some during the year, but his defense is good.

Remember, the trio of Rays shortstops blew the league away defenisvely (according to The Fielding Bible Numbers, right?), and it really was a trio.

by Whelk on Jan 19, 2012 5:35 PM EST up reply actions  

People love to hate our SS's

but all 3 are good and defense. Only Sean has the offense potential but still, SS’s are not easy to pass through waivers. Mets are a random team I can think of that would claim Johnson. I believe they only have rookie Tejada, I could be wrong.

That being said, if we go with 2 SS/2B types, or Rhymes or sign….one of those 2 bums, I wouldn’t cry over losing Elliot.

Matt Moore. That is all.

Wow, the Tigers suck

they trade Sizemore for a bag of balls and they release Rhymes. just trrible

by XrayYankeeZulu on Jan 19, 2012 2:39 PM EST reply actions  

Do you think the Rhymes addition takes us out of the running for Theriot/Keppinger?

And, what are the chances we go with 2 middle infielders on the bench, with the guys we currently have?

So do you.

BOOM. ROASTED!

Why not?

Maddon loves Brignac. Not enough to start him again but he wants that glove as his 2nd closer late in games. Rays are smart and even dumb teams would not put Theroit/Keppinger in the MIF when they have Brignac.

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 3:15 PM EST up reply actions  

Really? I've just been assuming S-Rod/Brignac platoon, with a possible 3rd guy on the bench.

We have our own LoMo in Rhymes

Sadly not talent wise but he was tweeting during the ALCS last year calling Leyland’s moves head scratches and that he had to turn the game off. Supposedly (I don’t actually know), he does that kind of thing often.

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 3:22 PM EST reply actions  

OT: Another false name

We now have to call Fausto Carmona “Roberto Hernandez Heredia” just so you know.

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 3:52 PM EST reply actions  

He's going to jail for sure

Perfect opportunity for a Wade Davis for LeVon Washington trade. Let’s bring him home!

by Ben Tumbling on Jan 19, 2012 4:04 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, I think we can get a bit more

Plus, I wanna rip those bastards off, I think they are going to steal Pena from us.

Matt Moore. That is all.

His best move ever

Forget that Longoria deal, Friedman just crushed it.

Matt Moore. That is all.

by joeybw on Jan 19, 2012 4:00 PM EST up reply actions  

Fight time

Farnsworth vs Gomes to the death.

Is he trying to lick him?

+1

Navis nearly got him mounted, never noticed that before with the Gomes hammer coming down.

Rangers sign Yu for basically 122 million.

So what? Rays get their Romo for peanuts. Much better deal.

by budman3 on Jan 19, 2012 7:55 PM EST reply actions  

It was discovered Brignac does have an option left.

If Rhymes proves an adequate back up for all the INF spots then i see him being the only UTL infielder they keep. Brignac will start the uear playing 2B in DUR or be traded before
