Tampa Bay Rays news and links: Is there a market overcorrection for offense?

Before we get to today’s links, in case you missed it: Brad Miller appeared on MLB Network’s Hot Stove to talk about Clemson before they took the field in Tampa and won the College Football Championship. He also discusses his first season with the Rays.

Miller did indeed go to the game, and brought Mikie Mahtook along for the game.
