Rays need to make a trade for some offense

[Singabull]

They need a bat and if they don't get one, this team is gonna fade away.  The average isn't bad but they waste so many good opportunities.  Even last night, they scored 4 but left 13 guys on base!  Nady would be a perfect fit.  What are they waiting for?

they need to also get rid of trevor miller. this guy is an embarassment

[Matt]

miller was solid for the first part of the season but his last 3 apperances have been awful.

i would love to see the rays make a move for Jason Bay.

[Matt]

rays are also looking at casey blake from cleveland

[TB Bulls]

I don't trust Miller.  Gut feeling. 

I agree with you guys as far as making a move.  They need to get another bat in their lineup.  If I had my choice, I would go after Bay first then Nady.  Nadys hitting for a good average this year, but Bay will get you anywhere from 25 to 35 homeruns a season.  Blake only if nothing else works.

They'd have to give up more for Bay.  Plus, bay would be a rent a player and they could probably sign nady long term.  Texiera is also in the rumors, could be a switch hitting DH.  I'd say trade any minor leaguer except price.

[TB Bulls]

Yeah, I've heard Texiera too.  That seems to good to be true.

texiera would not be good.  for one...he would only be a 2 month rental and secondly, the braves would want way too much for a player that we would only use as a DH. 

[TB Bulls]

Didn't know his contract info off the top of my head.  It would be nice if we could get him and keep him.  Guess that won't happen though.

[Matt]

he will end up being the highest paid 1st baseman in baseball this off-season.  we are already paying a boatload (for the rays atleast) for our own strikeout prone 1st baseman.  we dont need another one.
