-Wilking Rodirguez and David Newmann just returned for short stints on the disabled list.

-On the surface, the Bowling Green staff (A) has been disappointing this year. Its early in their development  so there is no reason for concern. The Rays are more concerned with pitcher development rather than results at the lower levels. The potential is still there for Colome and Rodriguez.

-Joseph Cruz hasn't posted a monthly FIP north of 3.01 since a rocky April of 5.21 baseball.

-Jake McGee has posted monthly FIPs in order of 4.98, 2.47, 2.71, and 2.55. The organization's patience in resisting the urge to convert him to a reliever may end up paying HUGE dividends.
