Rays sign Man-Ram and Damon

[BDYZR]

Ruger, I did the same thing with Boggs, and I agree with you about the experience of the moment.

I agree that adding Damon brings some leadership to the clubhouse. But, adding a CANCER like Manny, in my opinion , will hurt that same clubhouse more than Matt Damon can help.

The Boggs night was something.  I was at USF then and was a "beer man" for the Rays as it allowed me to pick up some spending money and see some great baseball of course usually by the opposing team!  Boggs' daughter was going to USF during that time as well.

As are the Rays....pitching and defense.  The starting 5 is still one of the 5 best in the AL (depending upon how Shields rebounds....possibly the best in the AL), and while the defense will step back a little in LF and 1B, there should be improvements at SS (Brignac), 2B (S Rod) and RF (Joyce) with the youngsters getting a majority of the playing time this year.  Not to mention our backup OF (Fuld) is light years better defensively than Kapler was last year.

Fuld is a defensive STUD who will be a great late innings defensive replacement.  You don't want him eating up 4-5 ABs a game though.  I'm willing to bet you see him replace Damon quite a bit in the 8th/9th innings this season...
