In other news, look for Wade Davis to make his first AA start on Wednesday as he will be promoted from Vero Beach. Also Rocco Baldelli will begin a rehab assignment in Durham Sunday, he hopes to rejoin the Rays next Friday, the next home game for the Rays, as they face old pal Ned Colleti's Los Angeles Dodgers. Oh and hat tip to reader JoeDobr for alerting me about something NiShea Gilbert said on 620 today, apparently Elijah Dukes is bi-polar and could be off his medicine, hence the anger issues, if true it explains a lot about Dukes, who is yet again on the bench tonight, again a thanks to Joe for the heads up.
