Promotions and trades left a void at the top of the Reds system that will begin to fill as top remaining propsects advance next year. http://reds.scout.com/2/1218355.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1218355.html Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:16:00 GMT 0 262 Cincinnati reds As he matures, Matt Garza has the chance to be special, writes Teddy Mitrosilis. http://rays.scout.com/2/834357.html 2047 Teddy Mitrosilis http://rays.scout.com/2/834357.html Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:19:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Yankees have spent a lot of money. The Red Sox will be strong. The Rays, in the aftermath of the Pat Burrell signing, seem likely to improve as well. The A.L. East is going to be a tough race in 2009. The addition of Pat Burrell improves the Rays' chances of defending their American League Championship, writes Tyler Hissey. http://rays.scout.com/2/827579.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/827579.html Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:53:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays did not tender Jonny Gomes on Friday night, likely ending his days in the organization. http://rays.scout.com/2/820899.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/820899.html Sat, 13 Dec 2008 03:47:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays In the first article in a RaysDigest.com position-by-position prospect ranking series, Teddy Mitrosilis breaks down the top five catchers in the Tampa Bay system. http://rays.scout.com/2/820273.html 2047 Teddy Mitrosilis http://rays.scout.com/2/820273.html Thu, 11 Dec 2008 04:19:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays have enough talent to remain in the Wild Card without making a major move, writes Tyler Hissey. While Andrew Friedman and his staff will look to improve the Tampa Bay roster at the right price, the club is in position to sustain its success for the long term. Thus, a major deal seems unlikely. http://rays.scout.com/2/770249.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/770249.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:09:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Tomorrow — Saturday, July 12 — Rays Digest writer Tyler Hissey will be appearing on Sports Talk 1220 to discuss the All-Star game and the first-place Tampa Bay Rays at 3:20 P.M. http://rays.scout.com/2/768621.html 2047 Scout.com http://rays.scout.com/2/768621.html Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:04:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays There has been a tremendous overall team effort—there seems to be a new hero every game: see Barlett, Jason, on Wednesday—in St. Petersburg all season, and Tampa Bay has relied on its excellent defense and pitching while the offense has struggled to score runs at times. But for now, here are my first-half awards for the best-in-baseball Rays. http://rays.scout.com/2/766939.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/766939.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 23:36:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays extended their lead in the American League East on Tuesday night, defeating the Boston Red Sox 3-1 to clinch a series victory over their new nemesis. Tim Wakefield, who turns into Cy Young when he comes to Tropicana Field, was outpitched by Tampa Bay starter Matt Garza, who scattered five hits and one earned run in seven solid innings to earn the win. http://rays.scout.com/2/766460.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/766460.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:11:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The All-Star voting system has turned into a popularity contest more than ever, evident by the current results. And most of the deserving players will not get voted in, says Tyler Hissey. http://rays.scout.com/2/762066.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/762066.html Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:28:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays It isn't the size of the contract he just signed that has some buzzing about Evan Longoria. The Rays #1 pick in 2006 is opening eyes around the league with his play. Pregame notes from 4/25. Ted Fleming from Rays Digest reports from Lake Buena Vista. http://rays.scout.com/2/749422.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/749422.html Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:19:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Dan Johnson is finally in a Rays' uniform, just in time for the Jays and Rays series in Central Florida. So where will he fit in? How will he fit in? Ted Fleming of Rays Digest reports from Champions Field in Lake Buena Vista. http://rays.scout.com/2/748725.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/748725.html Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:49:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Rays' southpaw JP Howell was a starter his entire professional career but may have finally found a home in the majors in the bullpen. Ted Fleming of Rays Digest reports from Tropicana Field. http://rays.scout.com/2/747873.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/747873.html Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:10:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays up their Grapefruit League record to 8-2 after their win in Ft. Myers over the Twins. http://rays.scout.com/2/736619.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/736619.html Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:23:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Carl Crawford was not the first Ray to bowl over a catcher this spring, but according to the Yankees' Shelley Duncan, Elliot Johnson has become this generation's Pete Rose and New York's backstop was Ray Fosse. Rays Digest columnist Ted Fleming tries to sort things out. http://rays.scout.com/2/736575.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/736575.html Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:45:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays After a dreadful first few months, Dioner Navarro had a very productive second half, posting the third best batting average (.286) among regular starting American League backstops. Only Jorge Posada (.355) and A.J. Pierzynski (.286) were better. And, although he has been through more than any 24-year-old should have to, Navarro seems poised to have a breakout season, says Ted Fleming. http://rays.scout.com/2/730099.html 2047 Ted Fleming http://rays.scout.com/2/730099.html Tue, 19 Feb 2008 01:42:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays During a busy offseason, the Rays changed their name (dropping the Devil), their team colors (from green to blue) and their attitude (acknowledging it was time to stop building and start winning). But as they prepare for the spring training, they know the biggest change has to occur on the field as they seek to surpass 70 wins for the first time. http://rays.scout.com/2/727948.html 2047 Scout.com Wire Services http://rays.scout.com/2/727948.html Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:33:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays On Thursday afternoon, FoxSports.com writer Ken Rosenthal reported that the Tampa Bay Rays are one of three teams pursuing Oakland Athletics right-hander Joe Blanton. The rumors appear to be pure speculation, however, as only one person—albeit Rosenthal, widely known for his excellent baseball connections — brought the Rays' alleged interest in Blanton to light. http://rays.scout.com/2/727756.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/727756.html Fri, 08 Feb 2008 13:15:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Signing James Shields to a long-term contract that could last seven years and be worth up to $44 million was a big deal. But the Rays don't know what impact -- if any -- it will have on their hopes to sign left-hander Scott Kazmir to a long-term deal. Kazmir said it wouldn't really be applicable, that their situations are vastly different. http://rays.scout.com/2/725666.html 2047 Scout.com Wire Services http://rays.scout.com/2/725666.html Sat, 02 Feb 2008 21:46:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays The Tampa Bay Rays remained busy with their offseason efforts this week, signing three players to minor league deals with invitations to spring training—left-handed reliever Brian Anderson, right-hander Scott Munter and Josh Paul, who was the team’s backup catcher in 2007. http://rays.scout.com/2/725637.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/725637.html Sat, 02 Feb 2008 19:13:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays
